What to expect
“An absolute masterpiece of a book. North is one of the imaginative greats.” —Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of Time
A future that is already broken. A paradox that must be solved. A love that can never be erased.
?An extraordinary tale of time travel, betrayal, and queer romance, from Claire North, the multi-award-winning author of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August.
In the beginning, the world will end. This is the story of what happens next.
When Cal meets a soldier of the French Revolution, he knows his lover is destined to die. But what's the point of being a time traveler if you can’t make a few small tweaks to the course of history? A little paradox here, an alteration there—nothing Cal can’t fix, to save the man he loves.
When Fadimatu walks into a museum in 2018, she stumbles upon her own mummified corpse, setting her on the path to a betrayal that has already killed her, and a murder that has not yet come to pass.
And when a sudden rupture in the fabric of history rips through the lives Cal and Fadimatu have built, breaking both past and future, they must reckon with death foretold, love forsaken, and a secret that will shatter 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.” —Kate Quinn, author of The Alice Network
“At once epic and intimate, emotionally devastating and intellectually dazzling. I can't imagine reading a better book this year.” —H. G. Parry, author of The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door
“Poignant, propulsive, and glorious.” —M. R. Carey, author of Outlaw Planet
Critics Review
—Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author of Children of Time
“A profound accomplishment—loving, lush, and weird, rich with heartache and grace. It’s a rare treat to read a book with such scope and depth.”
—Max Gladstone, co-author of This Is How You Lose the Time War
“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.”
—H. G. Parry, author of The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door“North’s unparalleled imagination delivers in this sharply intelligent, mind-bending story filled with plot twists and revelations, incisive commentary on our own era, questions of morality—and love.”
—Janie Chang, bestselling author of The Fourth Princess“An exhilarating, breathless tumble through history and a master class in propulsive writing.”
—Yume Kitasei, author of The Deep Sky“North charts a path across time as lyrical and deep and frightening as any winding river in creation. The conventions and logics of the time travel plot are twisted and repurposed, and what you get is an exquisite combination of heartbreak and hilarity, cozy comfort and nightmare thrills. A magnificent read!”
“A furious and passionate book, sweeping through an epic scale of history. Brilliant and memorable.”
“A tender, thoughtful, and exhilarating story of love, predetermination, and apocalypse. Absolutely stunning.”
