How to Stop Time

Tom’s rare condition has allowed him to view time from a unique advantage—including early on outrunning witchfinders, traveling the early southwest, playing in a 1920s piano bar in his native France, or teaching history in a school in modern London. But the years leave a mark with episodes that find him torn between times, caught by his memories and too much living in the past. And then he meets a fellow teacher who fascinates him and somehow recognizes him. This is a complex and captivating story that plays out neatly in Tom’s past and present and looks at big concepts of time (quality vs. quantity), purpose, and change. It’s a lovely read!
