Summary
Keith A Pearson's time-travel adventure, In Lieu of You, centres on a relationship question many have pondered: Where would I be today if I hadn't met that one person?
Hypothetically, we might want to know the answer. In reality, though?
Gary and Clare Kirk are set to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary...except they’re not. Childless, and with so little in common, the couple finally accept there’s no good reason to remain married.
However, Gary’s idea of an amicable divorce settlement differs significantly from Clare’s, and tensions between the couple soon mount. Money, as is often the case, is at the root of their disagreement.
As Gary explores every avenue to evade his wife’s financial demands, he inadvertently finds himself sitting opposite a relationship resolution advisor by the name of Edith Stimp. The mysterious Mrs Stimp then suggests a solution as unorthodox as it is unbelievable—a brief journey back in time to the day Gary first met Clare.
If he accepts the unlikely trip back to 1996, all Gary has to do is prevent his teenage self from meeting his future wife. If they never meet, they never marry, and there won’t be a financially-crippling divorce—what could be simpler?
For better or for worse, Gary Kirk is about to find out.

I loved this book ! Another great story from Keith A Pearson
I have read most of Keith’s books and enjoyed them all and this one is up there with my favourites. He is a great storyteller, he pulls you in early on, it’s easy to engage with the characters and he always has you on the edge of your seat anxious to know what’s going to happen next ! I love the time travel element it is cleverly written and transports you back to that era ( if you’re old enough to remember it which I definitely am!) The narration was excellent too which makes such a difference to the whole experience. Already looking forward to his next book !

Loved it
I really enjoyed this. It takes a while to get to the time travel part but it's required so that you know the characters. Lovely little twist towards the end and a perfect finish. Definitely recommend.

Extraordinarily Brilliant
Finding the words to express my thoughts about this latest book by Mr Pearson was not easy. I have used them all up. However Extraordinary is the word I give this one. The story was made believable by the wonderful characters, the descriptions of the changes from 1996 to 2023. The emotions one might feel in the situation of being transported back in time were described so well. However what really made this an Extraordinary listen was the superb narrator. He brought Gary Kirk and the other characters to life. To the point where I felt like I was actually listening to the character Gary tell his story to me and not just having the story read to me. Mr Pearson's Brilliant writing style, coupled with a great story and an Amazing narrator made this an Extraordinary experience. Thanks Mr Pearson you continue to amaze and excel.
