Three strangers’ lives are forever changed when they’re all drawn to a mysterious agency claiming to have unlocked the secret to time travel in this dazzling novel from award-winning author Jaclyn Moriarty.
On a bustling road in Sydney, Australia, lies a nondescript storefront known simply as the Time Travel Agency. Inside, you’ll be welcomed by the smell of fresh-brewed coffee, a selection of baked goods…and the question, Where in time do you wish to go?
The guidelines are simple: you can go whenever you wish into the past, and there’s no fear of altering the present. Have tea with Jane Austen, scream at a Beatles concert, witness the Olympics in ancient Greece. Perhaps a more personal trip? Visit your long-lost grandmother, return to the idyllic time when your teen was a babbling baby—or watch yourself make the one critical decision that changed everything.
Is it a hoax? Could the secret to time travel truly be hiding in plain sight? And if it’s real—what’s the catch?
When single mother Anna is offered a job at the agency, she glimpses the possibility of happiness, despite her skepticism. Meanwhile, Teddy, a genius at salvaging businesses but who needs saving himself, is drawn to the agency hoping to untangle his recently imploded marriage. And Jade despises the agency: since time travel cannot possibly be real, it offers false hope. Besides, her present is challenging enough, with her spirited, bad-tempered daughter and her deeply buried secret, too painful for words.
In Jaclyn Moriarty’s incandescent novel, Anna, Teddy, and Jade begin as strangers, leaping headlong into time, hurtling on a crash course toward one another. At turns entertaining and illuminating, Time Travel for Beginners explores the moments, big and small, that shape our destiny.
