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.

Autorenporträt

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.

Rezensionen

"Like Cyrano de Bergerac filtered through Back To The Future and a 2000s coat of paint, Love and Other Paradoxes is a fun and surprising dive into love and destiny- or lack thereof. Joe and Esi jump off the page, grounding sci-fi twists with humor and humanity, all with a brilliantly fresh take on time travel. Catriona Silvey is an absolute must-buy author for me." - Mike Chen, New York Times bestselling author of A Quantum Love Story

"Love and Other Paradoxes is a thrilling, thought-provoking gem of a love story, sparkling with wit and whimsy. I was drawn in by the intriguing premise of a time-travelling romance, then hooked by the twistily compelling plot and irresistible charm of Joe and Esi. The way in which the story came together at the end left me dazzled, answering brilliantly the conundrum of whether there's just one future mapped out for us or whether we can alter our destiny. Fabulous fun from start to finish!" - Sarah Haywood, New York Times bestselling author of The Cactus

"Love and Other Paradoxes is a novel every bit as smart, tender, and intriguing as its title. Part time-travel narrative, part epic love-story, and a fully realized exploration of what it means to live in the present while also acknowledging the millions of futures that might lie ahead of us all, I fell head-over-heels for Joe, Esi, and their world. I know readers will too." - Abbie Greaves, author of The Silent Treatment and Anywhere For You

"Stunningly clever, sweepingly romantic and so beautifully crafted. Catriona has created story magic by taking the intricate topic of time travel and making it an effortless and joyful read. Truly, one of the most interesting novels I've read all year! I absolutely adored it!" - Helly Acton, author of Begin Again

"Combining Y2K nostalgia, swoony romance and big questions about destiny, Love and Other Paradoxes is a funny and tender time travel romance that will delight readers. I loved it!" - Zen Cho, author of The Friend Zone Experiment

"An utterly charming and completely unique love story. With irresistible mid-aughts nostalgia and the perfect blend of romance, wit, and speculative twists, Love and Other Paradoxes will have readers both swooning and contemplating what it means to follow one's destiny. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to find out what happened next!" - Holly James, author of The Déjà Glitch

"Hugely charming, funny, and philosophical, Love and Other Paradoxes is a timey-wimey Cantabrigian love story for the ages. Silvey is an absolute master of witty banter, and it's impossible not to root for Joe and Esi as they fumble their way to finding themselves."
- Julie Leong, author of The Teller of Small Fortunes

"A beautifully crafted love story on the nature of fate and free will, delivered with huge charm and warmth." - Laura Jane Williams, author of Our Stop

- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Suggest to fans of unique time-travel romances." - Library Journal

"Writing with a divinely dry sense of wit and plenty of cheeky charm, Silvey (Meet Me in Another Life, 2021) dazzles in this ingeniously inventive romantic tale that perfectly captures the dreamy academic appeal of Cambridge and the infinite power of love to inspire artistic creativity." - Booklist

"Inventive, bold and surprising . . . Cleverly constructed and highly entertaining." - Charles Yu, National Book Award winner of Interior Chinatown, on Meet Me in Another Life

"Catriona's characters are beautifully explored and deeply complex . . . the payoff of their self-discovery feels genuine and earned." - Gal Gadot on Meet Me in Another Life

What initially appears to be a magical realist romance novel pivots, through artful authorial legerdemain, to become a satisfyingly rendered and memorable piece of science fiction." - Financial Times on Meet Me in Another Life

"Will break your heart in the best possible way. The book spans the many lives of Thora and Santi, two people who are connected across time and space. In every lifetime they meet, and their story is always different. The one thing that endures is the profound impact they have on each other's many lives." - Popsugar, The 25 Best Books of April, on Meet Me in Another Life

"In this sweeping romance, a couple whose life together meets a tragic and premature end find one another again and again and again across time. Thora and Santi aren't always lovers when they meet-sometimes they're sworn enemies-but they'll need to work together to prevent catastrophe from striking once more." - Bustle, The Best New Books to Read This April, on Meet Me in Another Life
