A recently established government ministry is gathering \"expats\" from across history to establish whether time travel is feasible—for the body, but also for the fabric of space-time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eKaliane Bradley is a British-Cambodian writer and editor based in London.

Imagine if The Time Traveler's Wife had an affair with A Gentleman in Moscow. . . You'd need a nuclear-powered flux capacitor to generate more charisma than Gore. . . His banter with the narrator crackles off the page . . . Readers, I envy you: There's a smart, witty novel in your future.\" — Ron Charles, The Washington Post\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\"The Ministry of Time reads like a novel that was written for pleasure . . . this is the kind of summer romp that also sparks real thought. . . . [G]ive in to the tide of this book, and let it pull you along. It's very smart; it's very silly; and the obvious fun never obscures completely the sheer, gorgeous, wild stretch of her ideas.\" — Ella Risbridger, The Guardian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\"Bradley pulls off a rare feat. The Ministry of Time doesn't stoop to easy answers and doesn't devolve into polemic. It's a smart, gripping work that's also a feast for the senses. An assassination, moles, questions of identity and violence wreak havoc on our happy lovers and the bubble they create in London. Yet our affection for them is as fresh and thrilling as theirs is for one another . . . An edgy, playful and provocative book that's likely to be the most thought-provoking romance novel of the summer.\" — Lauren LeBlanc, Los Angeles Times\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003ePRODUCT INFORMATION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003eTrade Paperback \u003cbr\u003e368 Pages \u003cbr\u003eFiction \u003cbr\u003e8.4 in H | 5.5 in W | 0.9 in T | 0.6 lb\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Posman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46018053603527,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/3277\/8951\/files\/9781668045152-The_20Ministry_20of_20Time_20Bradley2983.jpg?v=1777680103","url":"https:\/\/posmanbooks.com\/products\/the-ministry-of-time-a-novel","provider":"Posman Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
