The accidental time traveller / by Sharon Griffiths. by Griffiths, Sharon. Magna Large Print, 2010, c2008. Call #: LP FICTION GRI Subjects Women journalists -- England -- Fiction.   Time travel -- Fiction.   Nineteen fifties -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780750532242 Edition:  Large print ed. Description:  382 p. (large print) ; 23 cm. Summary:  "Journalist Rosie Hartford is having a very odd day. Or one hell of a hangover... Having had a blazing row with her boyfriend - fellow journalist Will - she reluctantly sets off for her latest assignment: an interview with one of the residents of The Meadows, a grotty local estate about to become the set for a major reality TV show, The 1950s House. But stepping through the front door, Rosie finds herself in a different house - and transported back in time. Everything is grey and drab - the food, the clothes, the TV.... It's not long before Rosie realises what's going on - She's obviously a contestant on the 1950s show! She's pretty miffed she's not been given warning, but she might as well give it a go - after all, the cameras are always watching and the first rule of reality TV is always keep smiling! But what really sends Rosie into a spin is the fact that Will is there too - but here he is known as Billy and has been married since he was 16 to Rosie's best friend. In the 1950s, Will/Billy is a family man and devoted father, a side to him that Rosie finds hard to imagine. He grows vegetables, repairs shoes and even has a shed. He is, in fact, a grown up. The truth slowly dawns on Rosie that this is reality, not reality TV. After she gets over the shock, she begins to embrace daily life 1950s-style. Gone are the excessive consumerism, drifting relationships and cheap thrills of the Noughties. In its place is make do and mend, commitment, duty and honour. Together Rosie and Billy make a great team, covering dramatic local stories, and inevitably growing closer until Rosie falls in love with Will/Billy all over again. But now he has a wife and kids and is out of bounds...Unless she can get back to 2008!"--Publisher. Genre:  Chick lit. Love stories.
