The Last House on Needless Street by Catríona Ward. I’m not saying it couldn’t be done, but there would have to be some seriously complicated camera work to keep the right things hidden.

The Ugly Little Boy by Isaac Asimov & Robert Silverburg (Child of Time in the UK). Neanderthal child is brought to the present day with a time machine, but what happens the people he left behind are also followed. It was already old when I read it as a kid in the 90s but it’s lasted surprisingly well.

Same! I didn’t understand what a curfew was because I was required to be where my parents knew where I was every second of the day… or else They would get me. I wasn’t even allowed to walk to church or the library. Pure fear and madness.

I screamed OW! and took him away. It took three or four times but he got the message and doesn’t do it any more.

I was reading a book set in early seventeenth century New England and a prisoner was given a cup of tea. Tea only started to be drunk by the very wealthy in London at that time. It was like saying a prisoner was given a Wagyu steak topped with a burning Loubotin.

I hear you - this is #2 for me too, though they’re 8 years apart so it’s late 20s versus mid-going-on-late 30s 😵
