2024 book 81

 Kaliane Bradley's The Ministry of Time

This is being described as “part time travel romance, part spy thriller” and honestly I’m here for all of that? The narrator is a young woman who works for the government in England, who’s assigned a job as a “bridge” for one of several people who’s been pulled out of her time—in her case, Graham Gore, from the lost Franklin exploration of the arctic. I ended up being VERY invested in their relationship, and thought the first half of this especially was very funny. I’m not sure the spy thriller aspects ended up totally working, but I loved this book anyway. GREAT narrative voice and beautiful characters. A.
