Critics Review
‘Profound, funny, humane and clever, I recommend it VERY HIGHLY’
– Marian KeyesI could wish I wrote it but then I wouldn’t have had the pleasure of reading this truly extraordinary, exquisite novel. It’s both hilarious and heart-breaking, thoughtful and compelling. It’s hard for me (I’m the eldest) but I just have to say it, my sister is a literary genius.
– Liane Moriarty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Here One MomentA treat for anyone who needs a reminder that time can heal anything, even the human heart….This gently eccentric tale of familial challenges will delight fans of Matt Haig and TJ Klune.
* Kirkus Reviews *Moriarty’s novel has charm, especially between Anna and Teddy, and depth, with its encouragement to look toward the future, not the past.
* Library Journal *A joyfully sad, quietly clever, and loudly delightful time-travel novel. By turns a meditation on mourning, happiness, and the deep truths of living. Time Travel for Beginners only gets more delicious with every read.
– Justine Larbalestier and New York Times bestselling author Scott Westerfeld, coauthors of The MortonsA truly amazing book! Time Travel for Beginners is absolutely gorgeous, smart, funny, deep, dreamy, and perfect. And it comes together beautifully at the end. It left my heart full and happy.
– Rachel Cohn, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Nick & Norah’s Infinite PlaylistThis book floored me in the gentlest of ways. It was imaginative, original and utterly engrossing from start to finish. From its uniquely likeable characters to its intricately woven plot, I loved absolutely everything about it. If you are drawn to books which convince you that the seemingly impossible is utterly plausible, this one is for you.
– Amelia Ireland, author of The Seven O’Clock ClubAn ingenious concept, beautifully told. I couldn’t put it down.
– Libby Page, national bestselling author of This Book Made Me Think of YouIn this brilliant novel of interwoven lives, Jaclyn Moriarty explores the very nature of reality in a story so filled with love, humor, and mouthwatering descriptions of chocolate cake that I couldn’t put it down.
– Laura Bloom, critically acclaimed author of The Women and the GirlsA very rare treasure. Funny and compelling and rich, it is also a wise reflection on regret and the ways we carry the past with us. It’s absolutely magnificent.
– Kathryn Heyman, critically acclaimed author of Circle of WondersWith compelling characters, a baffling mystery, and an ending that even savvy readers will not see coming, Moriarty’s latest is a winner that explores fate and how we are all connected.
* First Clue *‘Time Travel for Beginners is a moving story about families, both the ones we are born into and the ones we create for ourselves, and particularly the enduring bond between sisters.’
– Jess Lomas * Books + Publishing *Jaclyn Moriarty
