Return to a world where love defies time—and the next generation rewrites the rules, with the long-awaited sequel to the timeless, bestselling phenomenon The Time Traveler's Wife.

The long-awaited sequel to the multi-million-copy bestseller The Time Traveler's Wife.

Alba De Tamble is a time traveler, slipping unpredictably through decades like her father before her. But the hardest thing she carries isn't the burden of futures she can't understand, or pasts she cannot change—it's a secret: she is in love with two different people.

Each of them offers a different life. Zach lives in the present and can't follow her when she disappears. Oliver can travel through time, just like she can.

As Alba careens from time to time, moving from the riot-torn Chicago streets of her present to the eerie, timeless Yellow House, and into the digital corridors of the Museum of Lost Souls and a flooded future London, she must face a question she can no longer avoid—how is it possible to love, and live a meaningful life, in an increasingly troubled, fractured world?

Intimate and expansive, Life Out of Order is a kaleidoscopic story of love, resilience and hope when time is running out.
