An Ocean Of Minutes by Thea Lim ★★★★

Time travel is hardly a new theme for a novel, but Thea Lim’s imaginative and timely writing feels wholly original.

An Ocean Of Minutes– her debut – tells the story of Polly and Frank, a couple forced apart when a deadly flu pandemic breaks out.

The only way for Frank to be saved is for Polly to travel to the future – and there’s no going back. Switching between decades presents us with a truly heartbreaking narrative. It all leads to a beautifully poignant ending nonetheless.
