Summary
From the multi-award-winning Claire North comes an extraordinary and epic tale of time travel, betrayal and a love that echoes through the centuries.
In the beginning, the world will end. This is the story of what happens next.
When Cal meets a soldier of the French Revolution, he knows his lover is destined to die. But what is the point of being a time traveller if you can't make a few small tweaks to the course of history? A little paradox here, an alteration there - nothing Cal can't fix, to save the man he loves.
When Fadimatu walks into a museum in 2018, she stumbles upon her own mummified corpse, setting her on the path to a betrayal that has already killed her, and a murder that has not yet come to pass.
And when a sudden rupture in the fabric of history rips through the lives these travellers have built, breaking both past and future, they must reckon with death foretold, love forsaken, and a secret that will shatter time itself.
Fall through history on a thrilling journey of shattered time, broken futures and a love that can never be erased.

Critic reviews
An absolute masterpiece of a book: ingenious, touching, sharp-edged. North is one of the imaginative greats
Claire North always breaks my brain in the best way possible. Their latest is an utter delight, introducing us to Cal, a gender-bending time traveller who hops centuries with ease, and Olivier, an honour-bound army officer on the cusp of the French Revolution. What begins as a simple love affair becomes a devotion that crosses millennia, invokes a deadly paradox that threatens the entire construct of reality, and draws the attention of a mysterious witch from the cracks of time itself. Casually brilliant, flippantly funny, deeply philosophical, and achingly tender, As We Fall Through Time is one of the best books of the year
Claire North dismantles the time-travel saga and rebuilds it as something poignant, propulsive and glorious
As We Fall Through Time is absolutely, impossibly brilliant: at once epic and intimate, emotionally devastating and intellectually dazzling, everything I love about time travel novels and like nothing I've ever read before. I can't imagine reading a better book this year
