<p>An Ocean of Minutes</p>
<p>'An Ocean of Minutes is that rare thing - a speculative novel that is as heartfelt as it is philosophical. An original and compelling novel unlike anything you'll read this year'
Esi Edugyan, author of Washington Black</p>
<p>A heartbreaking and timely novel about courage, yearning, the cost of holding onto the past - and the price of letting it go.</p>
<p>Polly and Frank are young and in love, a lifetime together before them. But one evening in 1980, as the Texas sun sets over their shoulders, the world is suddenly pulled apart by a deadly virus. Within months, Frank is dying. Polly can save him, but only if she agrees to a radical plan: to time travel to 1993 for a corporation who can fund his life-saving treatment. She can only go forward, she cannot go back. And she must leave everything she loves behind, including Frank.</p>
<p>All they have is the promise of a future together: they will find each other again in twelve years' time, in Galveston, Texas, where the sea begins.</p>
<p>But when something goes wrong and Polly arrives late, Frank is nowhere to be found. Completely alone, Polly must navigate a terrifying new world to find him, and to discover if their love has endured.</p>
