As We Fall Through Time by Claire North

As We Fall Through Time by Claire North

"An absolute masterpiece of a book. North is one of the imaginative greats." --Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of Time

A future that is already broken. A paradox that must be solved. A love that can never be erased.

?An extraordinary tale of time travel, betrayal, and queer romance, from Claire North, the multi-award-winning author of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August.

In the beginning, the world will end. This is the story of what happens next.

When Cal meets a soldier of the French Revolution, he knows his lover is destined to die. But what's the point of being a time traveler if you can't make a few small tweaks to the course of history? A little paradox here, an alteration there--nothing Cal can't fix, to save the man he loves.

When Fadimatu walks into a museum in 2018, she stumbles upon her own mummified corpse, setting her on the path to a betrayal that has already killed her, and a murder that has not yet come to pass.

And when a sudden rupture in the fabric of history rips through the lives Cal and Fadimatu have built, breaking both past and future, they must reckon with death foretold, love forsaken, and a secret that will shatter time itself.

"Casually brilliant, flippantly funny, deeply philosophical, and achingly tender, As We Fall Through Time is one of the best books of the year." --Kate Quinn, author of The Alice Network

"At once epic and intimate, emotionally devastating and intellectually dazzling. I can't imagine reading a better book this year." --H. G. Parry, author of The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door

"Poignant, propulsive, and glorious." --M. R. Carey, author of Outlaw Planet
