The Psychology of Time Travel
by Kate Mascarenhas
From the moment I first saw the cover of The Psychology of Time Travel by Kate Mascarenas I just knew I was going to love it - it's embroidery!
The book is set in 1967, 2017 and 2018 and it follows the lives of the four women who invented time travel and (tiny spoiler) their pet rabbit, Patrick Troughton a.k.a. the second Doctor Who!
I love how the author came up with her own Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey rules for time travel. She didn't stick to the pre-set rules of every major sci-fi already out there and it was great.
As the story bounces from year to year we are also introduced to the granddaughter of one of the Pioneers in 2017, as well as another character who is trying to solve the murder of a mystery woman in 2018.
It may sound confusing but when reading it, each chapter, and time jump, flows to the next quite seamlessly making this quite a compelling read. In fact, I finished this in one sitting today as I just didn't want to put it down!
Story aside, one of my favourite things about this book is that it's written by a woman and features only women as main characters! Even in 2018, this is refreshing.
Thank you so much to Head of Zeus for sending me a free copy of The Psychology of Time Travel - I cannot recommend it enough
