Clock-stopping books about time travel

Elan Mastai

All Our Wrong Todays is an entertaining romp that should appeal to fans The Time Traveler's Wife

Sharp, funny writing in a mind-bending, time-travelling junket of a novel

Elan Mastai manages the [time-travel] genre masterfully in his debut novel

A thrilling tale of time travel and alternate timelines with a refreshingly optimistic view of humanity's future

Andy Weir, author of international bestseller

A novel about time travel has no right to be this engaging. 
 A novel this engaging has no right to be this smart. 
 And a novel this smart has no right to be this funny. Or insightful. Or immersive. 
 Basically, this novel has no right to exist."

Jonathan Tropper, New York Times bestselling author of This Is Where I Leave You and One Last Thing Before I Go

Elan Mastai has conjured up a witty and freewheeling time-traveling romance that packs an emotional wallop. All Our Wrong Todays is a page-turning delight

All Our Wrong Todays is elaborately constructed and incredibly emotionally intelligent; it's a story with super high stakes that genuinely makes you feel every part of Tom's awful predicament

Witty, original, funny, charming - a great story!

It's all very clever, but it's also not really the point. Because as well as being an intelligent sci-fi story, it's also a love story, and kind of a monomyth, and also just an incredibly relatable, insightful story about being in your 30s, feeling like you haven't achieved anything, and figuring out what's next

A timeless, if mind-bending, story about the journeys we take, populated by friends, family, lovers and others, that show us who we might be, could be - and maybe never should be - that eventually leads us to who we are

Mastai has a penchant for exuberant plot, a quick dash of character and fearlessly funny storytelling

All Our Wrong Todays is the mind-bending science fiction romance you need to read

This lovely new novel is It's a Wonderful Life meets The Jetsons. Tom who lives in an alternate 2016 where all the sci-fi fantasies of the 1950s are a reality, suddenly finds himself stranded in our 2016, where he rediscovers his family, friends, and self.

Imagine a world where 2016 was glorious: no Bowie, Brexit, Bake-Off, Bannon. That's where All Our Wrong Todays begins... Ambitious, funny, wry and philosophical, it's not surprising that author Mastai started off his life as a screenwriter (All Our Wrong Todays has already been picked up by uber-producer Amy Pascal) because this a book that has the grand scope of sweeping cinema peppered throughout

Sharp, funny writing is married to complex plotting that whisks through various alternative realities in this mind-bending, time-travelling junket of a novel

A BBC Radio 2 Book Club Choice 2017

This is a love story that could only have happened because of an accident of time travel. In it we meet Tom and Penny, who belong to a world so perfect there's no war, no poverty, no under-ripe avocados. 
 
But when something awful happens to Penny and Tom tries to make it right - you guessed it, with time travel - he accidentally destroys everything and wakes up in our broken, mixed-up world. 
 
Only here, Penny and Tom have a second chance. 
 
Should he try to fix everything and go back to his brilliant, but loveless world, or remain in our broken one and take a chance on being happy with Penny?
