History shapes those who travel through it Determined to save the antiques store she has inherited from ruin after the unexplained disappearance of her parents, Sarah Lester discovers a jumbled collection of vintage postcards which lead her on a journey through time. Unprepared for the story the postcards weave about their reclusive former owner, Sarah' s life is thrown into disarray as she is transported to Victorian London, colonial New Zealand and to the British Raj in nineteenth century India. Sarah' s journey through time could solve the mystery of her parents' disappearance. But one impossible question remains: what will staying in the past do to her future? Fifteen Postcards is the first book in The Old Curiosity Shop trilogy.

"Kirsten McKenzie has written a very unusual novel: part time travel, part historical, and part antique review. Sarah' s adventures in other times and other continents, linked together by the postcards and the antiques, are well researched and entertainingly written. This is a very striking debut novel. " -Historical Novel Society; "This story is one for devotees of adventurous historical fiction and tales of plucky young women finding their feet. " -Stephanie Jones, CoastFM Book Reviewer; "I think the author has done a commendable job in bringing the story to life and it' s obvious that she has used extensive historical research to ensure that the story always feels authentic and that' s not an easy feat to pull off. " -JaffaReadsToo, Book Blogger; "If history lessons had been this entertaining, I would have scored an A+!. " -Andrene Low, author of the Excess Baggage series
For many years Kirsten McKenzie worked in her family' s antique store, where she went from being allowed to sell the 50c postcards to selling $5,000 Worcester vases and seventeenth century silverware, providing a unique insight into the world of antiques which touches every aspect of her writing. Now a full time author, her historical time slip series - The Old Curiosity Shop series, has been described as ' Time Travellers Wife meets The Far Pavilions' , and ' Antiques Roadshow gone viral' . Her gothic horror novel Painted was released in June 2017, followed by her medical thriller Doctor Perry in 2018. She lives in New Zealand with her husband, daughters, and her SPCA rescue cat, and can be found procrastinating on Twitter under the handle @Kiwimrsmac.
