Der Leuchtturm an der Schwelle der Zeit

I read this book a few weeks ago, and I'm still thinking about it. Part time travel story, part historical fiction, and part romance, it's an amazing book. It starts with one of my favorite tropes: a man steps off of a train in the late nineteenth century with no memory. Other people soon find him, claiming to be his family. He's told his name is Joe Tournier, he's in the French colony of England, and things are ... not great for the English. It is illegal to write in English, and many of the formerly English are indentured servants who might be indentured forever. When a postcard arrives that gives Joe his first clue that there may be more to his amnesia than the people claiming to be his family will acknowledge, he sets off to figure out what happened to him. Ultimately he will travel through centuries and countries in his attempt to solve the mystery of his life.

Love Natasha Pulley, but her books aren’t light or easy. I had to go back and reread some of the first part as I was finishing. There’s a lot going on and she kinda makes you work with her to follow it all
