Resumen del Editor

A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK • “This summer’s hottest debut.”—Cosmopolitan • “Witty, sexy escapist fiction [that] packs a substantial punch...It’s a smart, gripping work that’s also a feast for the senses...Fresh and thrilling.”—Los Angeles Times • “Electric...I loved every second.”—Emily Henry

A time travel romance, a spy thriller, a workplace comedy, and an ingenious exploration of the nature of power and the potential for love to change it all: Welcome to The Ministry of Time, the exhilarating debut novel by Kaliane Bradley.

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.

Loved this so much

The characters were so well developed and the chemistry between the two main characters was so good. Narrator was really enjoyable. The story was fantastical without seeming like fantasy. I’m genuinely sad I’m don’t with this book I could have listened to this for way longer.

Well written, splendid story. Page turner.

If you like science fiction, a good story, history, and human connections-this is for you. I loved it!

Lots of fun, B-plus light entertainment

I listened while doing sudoku or the easier NYTimes puzzles. Neither alone engages my full attention, but they were a great combination. The characters are interesting and well-drawn enough to be engaging, and the plot is pretty well done. I was sorry to be finished. Thought-provoking in the end. Very satisfying read, if you're someone who doesn't have the energy or patience for actual great literature.

Unusual plot

The characters are richly rounded and their actions and reactions-although not generally predictable-make good sense. Interesting plot/story line.

Outstanding

There is absolutely nothing to dislike about this story. It was gripping, suspenseful, interesting, intriguing and thoroughly entertaining. This author is now on my list to follow. She’s going to have a great career. I can’t wait until her next book

Dual voiced then and now narrators

Fantastic tale based on history. Suspenseful and complicated. Reader must absolutely pay attention. Well done

Great story, not your usual time travel novel

The story was layered and engaging. I loved the characters and it was at times very funny. A wonderful book, definitely worth a read or listen!

Interesting premise

Thought provoking but characters, other than 1847, lacked heft. Some plot developments were a leap too far

Hard to follow

I was really looking forward to read this book and was disappointed. The concept was interesting, but the storyline was very confusing.

Not what I’d hoped for

The book went into too much sci fi for me. From the description I read before purchasing, I expected more comedy and relationship than drama.
