From time travel to the end of the world, what does love look like when the future is uncertain?
In her debut adult novel Some Body Like Me, Lucy Lapinska weaves a powerful and tender tale set against the backdrop of humanity’s final days. Abigail Fuller spends her time caring for her husband—but she isn’t his wife. She’s not even human. Created in the image of the real Abigail, she’s about to gain the right to decide her own future. But if she’s not the woman she was designed to be… who is she really? A deeply moving exploration of identity, autonomy, and love that transcends definitions.
In Love and Other Paradoxes, Catriona Silvey gives us a brilliant, time-twisting romantic comedy where the future is quite literally watching. Joe is a struggling poet at Cambridge who dreams of greatness—until Esi, a time-traveling tourist from the future, arrives to witness his rise to fame. But when Esi intervenes to change a terrible event in her past, she accidentally derails history… and Joe’s heart. As he starts falling for her instead of his destined muse, the question becomes: can love rewrite fate?
