Description
Tom Hazard has been alive for centuries, born in 1581. A rare condition has allowed him to live through history, from Shakespeare's England to jazz age Paris and voyaging the Pacific. Now, he craves an ordinary life, working as a history teacher at a London school. Here, he can teach the kids about wars and witch hunts without having witnessed them first-hand. Tom's secret is to avoid falling in love, but it's a risk he must take. As Tom navigates his life, he must confront the past that's catching up with him. A wild and bittersweet time-travelling story unfolds, exploring the human experience of losing and finding oneself. The book delves into the certainty of change and the mistakes humans are doomed to repeat, and the lifetimes it takes to learn how to live. With its unique blend of history, love, and self-discovery, this novel is a thought-provoking read.
