It's the book I have recommended to friends with the most success -- Books of the Year * Spectator * This is extraordinary writing, with unforgettable characters and a spine tingling love affair, and manages to be both a serious look at the weight of history and an absolute riot. A true original -- Francesca Steele * i Newspaper * I loved its combination of extreme whimsy, high seriousness and cool understatement - and migration-as-time-travel is a clever conceit -- Johanna Thomas-Corr * The Times * Fizzing with sharp one-liners about everything from Tinder to e-scooters, the novel is also a thoughtful meditation on imperialism and immigration -- 50 of the best new books to dive into * Guardian * An addictive sci-fi romantic comedy . . .

But they soon question the program that united them -- The best 10 books of 2024 * People * One of 2024's best debuts so far, the book is both goofy and emphatically serious - a time-travelling romcom that's also a subtle rumination on the legacies of empire and colonialism -- Best summer books * Financial Times * The book I recommended most often and with the most success this year . . .
