How to Stop Time - Tuesdays from 7th May

Tom Hazard looks like an ordinary 41-year-old, but due to a rare condition he's been alive for centuries.  We travel with him from Elizabethan England to Paris in the 1920s, from New York to the South Pacific.  Tom has seen a lot, but now wants an ordinary life. Can he control his past? Can he prevent himself from falling in love in the present?  This is a wonderful book about losing and finding yourself, about coping in a changing world, and about learning how to really enjoy the moment. It throws a light on what it means to live a meaningful life.

The movie of How to Stop Time is in development starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

Geoff says:

"I chose this book because I read it and loved it!  The long life of our hero is told in flashbacks and so we experience history through his eyes, which is always shown with a light touch.  The themes of what it means to live and love are thought-provoking."
