Chris's Reviews > The Ministry of Time

Once more I have fallen behind in my reviews. I mention that because if you look at the dates I started and finished this spectacularly fine debut novel, you'd think it took me a while to finish it. Nope. I inhaled it. Imagine a brilliant sci-fi story about time travel; a beautiful romance between a forward-thinking 21st-century executive and an eighteenth-century arctic explorer; and a riveting tale about spy craft and sage houses. This novel is all that in one perfect mash-up. I loved it. (PS: While you'll be fascinated by the eighteenth-century-explorer, you'll really devour the tart who survived the seventeenth-century plague.)
