Jeremiah Bourne in Time by Nigel Planer

Jeremiah Bourne in Time by Nigel Planer

As Jeremiah Bourne is swept from his crumbling home in Blackfriars in 2019 to the same house in 1910, he suddenly faces two questions: how did he get here, and how can he return to his own time? On his quest for answers, he encounters a cast of comic characters and situations: a coven of free-thinking spiritualists, a futuristic residents’ association, warring street gangs, eugenic scientists, aggressive domestic servants and a nudist magistrate. As events unfold, Jeremiah begins to wonder whether there could be a link between his time-travelling and his mother’s mysterious disappearance many years ago. Now he must work out who he can trust to help him look for her. Nigel Planer’s electrifying novel takes a new and exciting look at the possibility of time travel as it catapults you into a thrilling journey across London and through time.
