Description
Tom Hazard appears to be an ordinary history teacher, but a rare condition has allowed him to live for centuries, witnessing pivotal moments alongside figures from the past. Returning to London in search of a quieter life, he finds himself drawn into a dangerous romance while the secretive society protecting people like him demands strict obedience—and emotional distance. Moving between past and present, this poignant, witty novel explores love, memory, identity, loneliness, and the burden of endless time. At its heart, it asks whether a long life has any meaning without the courage to truly live in the present.
