* BY THE ARTHUR C. CLARKE AWARD WINNING AUTHOR OF WHEN THERE ARE WOLVES AGAIN * 'A clever, powerful voice in science fiction' - CLAIRE NORTH, AUTHOR OF THE LAST SONG OF PENELOPE 'An effervescent blend of history and science fiction' - THE WASHINGTON POST 'Swift's characters breathe a larger-than-reality life' - LOCUS MAGAZINE HALLIE MOVES TO PARIS TO REINVENT HERSELF, FIND A NEW LIFE, AND MAYBE A NEW LOVE She's off to a fair start, she's landed a bartending job at a dive called Millie's and found new friends in the eccentric crew that runs the place. Then, it gets weird. There's a strange woman who won't leave her alone. Garbled warnings from bizarre creatures disrupt her sleep. She keeps running into a man with a charming smile - a man she should probably steer clear of. And she can't stop falling back in time in Millie's keg room. Soon, Hallie is caught up in something much bigger than herself - a project that this mystery man needs her to join. But with every trip through time, Hallie loses a little of herself, and each infinitesimal change she makes ripples through Paris, until the future she's trying to save suddenly looks nothing like what she hoped for...

An effervescent blend of revisionist history, fantasy and science fiction * The Washington Post *
A clever, powerful voice in science fiction -- Claire North, author of THE LAST SONG OF PENELOPE
Swift's characters breathe a sort of gap-year-encounters-larger-than-reality hallucinogenic life: vivid, foreign, and faintly exotic to middle-class English girl Hallie. Nothing feels quite real, or quite certain * Locus Magazine *
Swift delivers both an unusual take on time travel and solid characters, including a fantastic protagonist * Publishers Weekly *
Inventive and at times overwhelming... I can't really express how much I enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more from Swift soon * Fantasy Book Reviews *
