As We Fall Through Time

From the multi-award-winning Claire North comes an extraordinary and epic tale of time travel, betrayal and a love that echoes through the centuries.

An absolute masterpiece of a book: ingenious, touching, sharp-edged. North is one of the imaginative greats

As We Fall Through Time is absolutely, impossibly brilliant: at once epic and intimate, emotionally devastating and intellectually dazzling , everything I love about time travel novels and like nothing I've ever read before. I can't imagine reading a better book this year

Claire North always breaks my brain in the best way possible. Their latest is an utter delight, introducing us to Cal, a gender-bending time traveller who hops centuries with ease, and Olivier, an honour-bound army officer on the cusp of the French Revolution. What begins as a simple love affair becomes a devotion that crosses millennia, invokes a deadly paradox that threatens the entire construct of reality, and draws the attention of a mysterious witch from the cracks of 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

Claire North dismantles the time-travel saga and rebuilds it as something poignant, propulsive and glorious

Cal, a time traveller from a future where mankind faces extinction of our own making, discovers that other time travellers and the man he loves have disappeared. As We Fall Through Time hurtles along at a relentless pace, snapping back and forth through centuries as Cal tries to locate the origins of the time paradox someone created while trying to save humanity's future. Claire North's unparalleled imagination delivers again in this sharply intelligent, mind-bending story filled with plot twists and revelations, incisive commentary on our own era, questions of morality - and love
