The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley

Did not finish book. Stopped at 9%.
The start tells not to worry about how time travel works, but I'm not thinking about how it works, I'm wondering why they are doing time travel. Why have they pulled this guy out. What is the point? And by this point I should have had a hook up I keep me interested in finding out the answers, but I suspect the hook was incessant mention of the time traveler's dimples, and I've proven immune.
