Description

Scarlett Thomas's novel explores the idea that our understanding of time is not as fixed as we think. Kelsey Newman's theory suggests that if true, humanity would be able to live forever.

This concept raises more questions than answers, particularly for those trapped in unhappy relationships or seeking a way out. Meg, a bright and ambitious individual, finds herself at a crossroads, where the science of time and the natural world become intertwined with her own personal struggles.

As she delves deeper into her theory, Meg must navigate a complex web of connections between seemingly unrelated elements: a wild beast on Dartmoor, a ship in a bottle, and even a knitting pattern for the shape of the universe. Will she find a way to escape her circumstances, or will her search lead to unexpected consequences?
