Time Squared: A Novel

Description

A clever young woman meets a handsome soldier - their love story unfolds through romance and misunderstandings, but with a twist: Eleanor and Robin keep jumping through time, and only Eleanor knows that it's happening... Eleanor loves Robin. Again and again and again. Yet they never quite get to be together. From early Roman Britain to contemporary Toronto, Eleanor and Robin's love story leaps through time as society and circumstances conspire to thwart them. Whether it's family planning to marry Eleanor against her will or wars that Robin must fight, their love story is a tale of fleeting encounters, each one revealing more of the story to the reader. But Eleanor has always had headaches and visions, flashes of other eras when she knows she hasn't lived. Or has she? After coming to realize that she is a pawn, Eleanor dares to confront the chessmaster. Can she free herself from a strange cosmic game so that she and Robin can finally be together?

"Time Squared, by Lesley Krueger, which I've loved more than I've loved than any book I've read in ages, could be billed as Kate Atkinson's Life After Life meets Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, if we wanted to underline just how badly you really ought to read it. And oh, you really do." -- Pickle Me This blog
