The Map of Time by Flix Palma
An epic, ambitious and page-turning mystery that will appeal to fans of The Shadow of the Wind, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell and The Time Travellers Wife- ‘The Map Of Time is a clever and engrossing 500-page yarn encompassing mystery, romance and murderJust the sort of novel to see you through a holiday’ Daily Mail
- ‘A wonderful homage to the science fiction of the Victorian era, blending fact and fantasy into a mind-boggling tale that wrong-foots its readers at every twist and turn… an incredibly pacey read, and beautifully written’ Herald Scotland
- ‘A fast-paced, exuberant story of love, murder and charlatanry … For readers who enjoy the inconsistencies inherent in Dickens’ London, the randomness of Audrey Niffenegger’s The Time Travellers’ Wife, and the clever humour of Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, this is an entertaining romp guaranteed to make you think and laugh and to keep you from your social life for hours’ Booklist (starred review)
- ‘The brilliant first in a trilogy, an intriguing thriller that explores the ramifications of time travel in three intersecting narratives… Palma brings Wells and other historical figures like Joseph Merrick, the Elephant Man, plausibly to life. Susannah Clarke fans will be delighted’ Publishers Weekly(starred review)
- ‘A marvel from beginning to end…a masterpiece!’ Qué Leer [Spain]
