A review by smithel
The Kingdoms by Natasha Pulley

5.0

This is the story of Joe Tournier, who suddenly finds himself at Gare du Roi in Londres, with no memory at all of who he is and where he’d come from. His only clue to his past comes in the form of a postcard that had been posted from a Scottish lighthouse almost a hundred years previously and a vague recollection of a man waiting for him on an island. As with all of Natasha Pulley’s books, reading this was an intense experience, a battle between not being able to put it down and dreading finishing it and having to say goodbye characters. It’s the tender and traumatic time travel napoleonic wars romance I never knew I needed.
