A jaded immortal woman falls for a man out of time in this stunning new novel, perfect for fans of The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue, About Time, and The Time Traveller's Wife. 1605, London. Beatrix lives a solitary life in the shadows, wandering the city streets looking for ways to forget.
Forget that everyone she has ever loved has been dead for nearly a century. Forget that, for her, love can only ever mean loss. Because Beatrix has a secret: a lifetime ago her deathbed wish was granted, making her immortal.
Until one day, whilst picking pockets amidst the raucous crowds of The Globe Theatre, she meets Oliver. They spend a single, perfect day together before he tells her that he has to leave. She’s not surprised; eternity is a lonely place.
When Beatrix and Oliver meet again by chance a century later, recognition hits her like a bolt of lightning. It’s impossible. He’s impossible.
Just like her. A chance for Beatrix to truly live – and love – again sparks into existence. Yet their bond will prove more magical than either thought possible: whilst Beatrix may be over two centuries old, Oliver won’t be born for another four hundred years...
