Author

Thea Lim is a Singaporean-Canadian author whose literary fiction explores displacement, loss, and the ways that global events reshape individual lives. An Ocean of Minutes is a speculative novel set in a world where a flu pandemic has devastated America. The novel follows a woman who agrees to travel forward in time to pay for her... partner's treatment, only to arrive in a future where America has been partitioned and the person she loved may be lost to her forever. Lim combines speculative fiction with a deeply moving love story about separation and the lengths people go to for those they love. The audiobook and book versions offer listeners and readers a beautiful, heartbreaking work of literary science fiction. Lim's work appeals to readers who appreciate speculative fiction that uses imagined futures to explore the most fundamental human emotions. Read more Show less
