A TRULY TIMELESS LOVE STORY…

Cambridge University student Joe Greene dreams of a future where his words will echo through the ages.

Esi already knows his future. She’s on a time-traveling tour to witness history’s greatest moments. In Esi’s era, Joe is as renowned as Shakespeare, and he’s about to meet Diana, the subject of his famous love poems.

But Esi is harbouring a secret. This year, something will happen at Cambridge that will wreck her life, and she’s hellbent on changing it. When she bumps into Joe, she sends his destiny into a tailspin. To save both their futures, Esi becomes Joe’s dating coach, helping him win over Diana.

But when Joe starts falling for Esi instead – they both face a crucial question:

Is the future set in stone, or can we rewrite our fates?

The sweetness of romcom About Time collides with the rich melancholy and high-stakes romance of Time Traveller's Wife in this gorgeous new love story destined to be future classic.

About the Author

Catriona Silvey was born in Glasgow and grew up in Perthshire and Derbyshire, which left her with a strange accent and a distrust of flat places. She overcame the latter to do a BA in English at Cambridge, and spent the next few years there working in scientific publishing. After that she did a PhD in language evolution, in the hope of finding out where all these words came from in the first place. Following stints in Edinburgh and Chicago, she returned to Cambridge, where she lives with her husband and a very peculiar cat. When she's not working as a researcher studying meaning in language, she writes fantasy and science fiction. Her short stories have been performed at the Edinburgh International Book Festival and shortlisted for the Bridport Prize.
