The Ministry of Time asks: What does it mean to defy history, when history is living in your house?"--$$cDust jacket flap. 001556971 520__ $$a"In the near future, a civil servant is offered the salary of her dreams and is, shortly afterward, told what project she'll be working on. A recently established government ministry is gathering "expats" from across history to establish whether time travel is feasible--for the body, but also for the fabric of space-time. She is tasked with working as a "bridge": living with, assisting, and monitoring the expat known as "1847" or Commander Graham Gore. As far as history is concerned, Commander Gore died on Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 expedition to the Arctic, so he's a little disoriented to be living with an unmarried woman who regularly shows her calves, surrounded by outlandish concepts such as "washing machines," "Spotify," and "the collapse of the British Empire." But with an appetite for discovery, a seven-a-day cigarette habit, and the support of a charming and chaotic cast of fellow expats, he soon adjusts. Over the next year, what the bridge initially thought would be, at best, a horrifically uncomfortable roommate dynamic, evolves into something much deeper. By the time the true shape of the Ministry's project comes to light, the bridge has fallen haphazardly, fervently in love, with consequences she never could have imagined. Forced to confront the choices that brought them together, the bridge must finally reckon with how--and whether she believes--what she does next can change the future. An exquisitely original and feverishly fun fusion of genres and ideas, The Ministry of Time asks: What does it mean to defy history, when history is living in your house? Kaliane Bradley's answer is a blazing, unforgettable testament to what we owe each other in a changing world"--$$cDust jacket flap. 001556971 61010 $$aGreat Britain.$$bRoyal Navy$$xOfficers$$vFiction. 001556971 650_0 $$aTime travel$$vFiction. 001556971 650_0 $$aRoommates$$vFiction. 001556971 650_0 $$aCivil service$$vFiction. 001556971 650_0 $$aMan-woman relationships$$vFiction. 001556971 650_6 $$aVoyages dans le temps$$vRomans, nouvelles, etc. 001556971 650_6 $$aColocataires$$vRomans, nouvelles, etc. 001556971 650_6 $$aRelations entre hommes et femmes$$vRomans, nouvelles, etc. 001556971 650_7 $$aTime travel$$vFiction.$$2sears 001556971 650_7 $$aCivil service$$vFiction.$$2sears 001556971 650_7 $$aExplorers$$vFiction.$$2sears 001556971 650_7 $$aMan-woman relationship$$vFiction.$$2sears 001556971 650_7 $$aSpy stories.$$2sears 001556971 655_0 $$aTime-travel fiction. 001556971 655_0 $$aScience fiction. 001556971 655_0 $$aRomance fiction. 001556971 655_7 $$aLove stories.$$2gsafd 001556971 655_7 $$aTime-travel fiction.$$2lcgft 001556971 655_7 $$aScience fiction.$$2lcgft 001556971 655_7 $$aRomance fiction.$$2lcgft 001556971 830_0 $$aGood morning America book club. 001556971 852__ $$bgen 001556971 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1556971$$pGLOBAL_SET 001556971 980__ $$aBIB 001556971 980__ $$aBOOK 001556971 980__ $$aNPR 001556971 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
