One of the greatest love stories in history gets derailed when a struggling poet at Cambridge runs into a time-traveler who agrees to help him find his muse a thoughtful and uplifting romantic comedy for fans of About Time and In Five Years.

THIS LOVE STORY IS ABOUT TO BE REWRITTEN

The year is 2005. The city is Cambridge. The poet-to-be is Joe.

Joe has waited all his life to find the right words that will unlock his future – the words that will make him the writer he knows he could be.

A chance encounter with a mysterious girl in a teashop changes everything. For Esi, yesterday has always been more important than tomorrow: unmoored from her own time in the future, Esi is looking for her mother in the past.

Bearing clues as to Joe’s possible future as a literary star, the two decide to put aside their differences and help one another. Esi will help Joe become his future self, Joe will help Esi discover where she comes from.

But with them both looking to the future and to the past, who is minding the present?

One thing is for sure…

Their love story will be timeless.

The sweetness of romcom ABOUT TIME collides with the rich melancholy and high-stakes romance of TIME TRAVELLER’S WIFE in this gorgeous new love story destined to be future classic.
