Jacey Bedford's Journal

Audiobook narrated by Katy Sobey.

Back home in 2017, Sophie and Hugo realise that they love each other and immediately get together when safely back in Hugo's parent house. They don't realise that Freddie has managed to follow them from 1925, and he is devastated to find the love of his life and his best friend sleeping together. With immovable 1925 attitudes about girls staying pure, Freddie is angry and unforgiving. When Sophie and Hugo try to take him back to his own time his thought 'do your worst' are taken up by the sentient lift, and they are dropped into Medieval Europe with Mongol Army on the rampage. Sophie, Freddie and Charlotte have enhanced strength in this world, though Hugo does not. Trying to escape. Sophie and Freddie are dropped (literally) into and impossible situation in which they are sure they will die, and one thing leads to another. Sophie is badly injured, but they managed to access the lift and get back to 2017 where, in hospital, they all learn she's pregnant. Who's the father?

Apparently there's a novella that addresses this problem, but it's not available as an audiobook. Too bad.

Audiobook narrated by Katy Sobey.

Sophie Arundel and her labradoodle, Charlotte, step into a lift on her first day at university in 2017, and stumbles out in 1925. Also in the lift was Hugo, a privileges annoying student she knows from school. 1925 is a different world, literally. It's a different timeline in which the First World War never happened and chaos is turning into revolution. Sophie and Hugo fine refuge at Shorten Manor with Anne, her husband, Richard, and their son, Freddie - very much a product of his upbringing. Anne came through the portal herself, half a lifetime ago, so she's able to help Spohie adjust to the era of servants, propriety and gossip. Can Sophie and Hugo work out how the lift works and find their way home before the lifestyle engulfs them. None of the other half-dozen travellers has ever managed to go home, though it seems that they don't want to. Katy Sobey has a girlish voice, but it works well in this context
