If Kelsey Newman's theory about the end of time is true, we are all going to live forever. But who would want that?
Certainly not Meg, a bright spark trapped in a hopeless relationship. But if she can work out the connection between a wild beast on Dartmoor, a ship in a bottle, the science of time and a knitting pattern for the shape of the universe, she might just find a way out.

«Thomas can discuss quantum physics and philosophy while making you think you're reading a sparkling romantic comedy»
