Description
Tom Hazard teaches history for a living, which is convenient, since he’s been alive long enough to have lived through most of it. Matt Haig builds the novel around the one rule Tom’s kind lives by — never fall in love, because watching someone age and die while you don’t is its own kind of curse — and around the woman who makes him consider breaking it anyway. The book moves between centuries as easily as it moves between the past and Tom’s present, and a film adaptation with Benedict Cumberbatch has been in development since its release.
