Sometime This Century

“Humor and romance keep the pages of this smart, lighthearted novel turning. It’s hard to put down.” – Publisher’s Weekly

“A comical and charming love letter to Jane Austen.” – Kirkus Reviews

“Silva’s (Love and Fury, 2021) blend of time-travel romance, Jane Austen fanfic, and literary silliness makes for a fun romp. The novel is written with a vintage air and peppered with characters who bear striking resemblances to those from Austen’s novels, a coincidence that becomes clear in the third act, and the character growth among the three time travelers–especially between the polar-opposite sisters–is sweet. Recommend to lovers of the Regency era seeking all of the pearl-clutching drama of Bridgerton and a love story that holds to the era’s conventions of romantic decorum.” – Booklist

“Silva’s (Love and Fury) escapist foray into rom-com territory is a quick read with a premise that will appeal to fans of Jane Austen and humorous time-travel romance.” – Library Journal

“A great read, well-choreographed, and… worth every page for a reader who’s ever wished for a world of their own.” – Bestsellers World

“Sometime This Century by Samantha Silva is a delightful Regency comedy, as well as a modern puzzle.” – Not Another Book Review

“Sometime This Century is a novel that scratches every itch: romantic and witty, funny and heartfelt, smart and often unexpected. Quite literally a modern classic, this book will delight readers of high-brow literary classics, but also charm those of us who can’t resist a Bridgerton scandal. Like the best Austen novels, it delves into societal expectations and self-discovery, but still goes down like a flute of chilled champagne, passed to you by the most eligible bachelor at the ball. The clever ending had me gripped–and now I’m crushed that it’s over.” – Emily Everett, author of All That Life Can Afford
