I Know You

By Russell Govan

Genre:-Time Travel/Fiction

Pages:-250

Blurb:-Eilidth, bright, headstrong and feisty, gets sparkling exam results that confirm her university place. Her boyfriend reveals he has deceived her. In the ensuing argument she is knocked unconscious. She arrives in 1984, in an Ethiopian refugee camp, where she nurses a dying child, than a wounded aid worker before wakening back home in present-day Scotland. Three days later, at an isolated beauty spot trying to come to terms with her ex-boyfriend's betrayal and her experience in Ethiopia, she encounters Walter, who is in the early stages of dementia. He is there because of a tattoo on his wrist that simply states the date and location of the beauty spot. Eilidth recognises Walter's symptoms, takes him home and contacts his niece to come and collect him.

 Over the following 48-hour period Eilidh finds herself transported to various locations in Europe and North America, and time periods from the previous fifty years. Each episode draws her further into an unexpected and unconventional romance. Eventually she travels to WW2 blitzed Liverpool and meets a fellow time traveller who explains that Eilidh faces a decision with life and death consequences.

My Review:-Eilidh and her friends are waiting for the exam results to find out if they have passed. After getting her results Eilidh meets her boyfriend Findlay in a cafe, but after telling him she got the results she needed and now they can go to the same Uni. Findlay tells Eilidh the he's not going anymore and they are finished, Eilidh isn't happy and she goes to hit Findlay but ends up falling backwards and blacking out. Eilidh wakes 35 years earlier, but not in Scotland she's in Ethiopia. When she returns back to the present, we meet Walter, an old man with dementia. Eilidh soon realises that the time travel is linked to Walter.

 I don't do spoilers so it's hard to say much more apart from if you love time travel, mystery and more this book is for you. I loved Russell's writing style, it flows well from one place to another.
