About the Book

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE 2017 BOOKS ARE MY BAG READERS AWARD FOR POPULAR FICTION Tom Hazard has a dangerous secret. He may look like an ordinary 41-year-old, but owing to a rare condition, he's been alive for centuries. From Elizabethan England to Jazz-Age Paris, from New York to the South Seas, Tom has seen a lot, and now craves an ordinary life. Always changing his identity to stay alive, Tom has the perfect cover - working as a history teacher at a London comprehensive. Here he can teach the kids about wars and witch hunts as if he'd never witnessed them first-hand. He can try to tame the past that is fast catching up with him. The only thing Tom must not do is fall in love. How to Stop Time is a wild and bittersweet story about losing and finding yourself, about the certainty of change and about the lifetimes it can take to really learn how to live.

Review :
A rollicking time-hopping fantasy . . . How to Stop Time will provoke wonder and delight Hugely entertaining Outlandish . . . heartwarming, perceptive prose An imaginative, ambitious novel by an author with an infectious passion for history and the human condition Haig writes exquisitely from the perspective of the heart-sore outsider, but at their most moving his novels reveal the unbearable beauty of ordinary life Let Matt Haig take you on a journey . . . Brings every era to vibrant life . . . original and fascinating Tear-jerking, time-hopping romance A fabulous book How to Stop Time is a beautiful, and necessary book. I feel very lucky to have read it. It is magical, intriguing and at times, very sad. A triumph Absolutely terrific My favourite book of this year, and most others. A dazzling read. Time stopped still Compelling and full of life's big questions, How to Stop Time is a book you will not be able to put down Strange and brilliant and heartfelt It's not easy to write a book that's simultaneously fun and serious and gripping and simple and profound, but Matt Haig manages it again and again. How to Stop Time is just brilliant Matt Haig is a writer for children and adults who is adept at digging into the human heart Full of Haig's trademark humour and humanity. It is a wonderfully entertaining ride through centuries of adventure with a gloriously heart-warming message. A must read An epic, spellbinding new book . . . this is a brilliant page-turner about family, love and dangerous secrets Halt everything to read Matt Haig's How to Stop Time . . . A tale that makes you fall in love with reading all over again ***** An ambitious plot is deftly handled in this exquisitely written novel. A joy! ***** Engrossing . . . A book to relish An exploration of how to make peace with one's past in a world where time seems to rush past faster than ever A moving tale of regret and redemption An epic, spellbinding new book . . . A brilliant page-turner about family, love and dangerous secrets A tender, affecting novel about Tom Hazard, who's lived for 400 years. He's got it all under control as long as he doesn't fall in love. Guess what happens next? The narrator is 400 years old, but the sardonic asides give this pacy novel a modern twist. Matt Haig has designs on our heartstrings . . . The energy and zip of this book are hard to resist A completely wonderful book A refreshing exploration of how to make peace with one's past selves Goodness. What a stunning book. Brilliant, beautiful and mindbendingly magnificent A love story for the ages . . . A fresh spin on familiar ideas and, at its best, gets to the heart of what defines us as human Inventive, exciting, moving and bursting with insight about history, time and what it is to be human Matt Haig has proven his worth as a fictional writer and an ambassador for mental health awareness, and this novel conveniently merges the two in a fun, dynamic story of overcoming grief and one's past towards a healthy and stable mental wellbeing
