Most recent read! Funny and heavy in a way. If you've read it, what did you think?

A fantastic debut novel. It’s almost a reverse Outlander, ex-pats throughout time arrive in our time and learn to adjust. Another group of spies is attempting to interfere. Fantastic action and great love story as well. 4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #timetravel #booksky #reading #scifinovel #ministryoftime

Kaliane started by writing to some people she found online, one thing led to another, and now we have what sounds like a wonderful book. On stage, Kaliane was 100% delightful, sharing her obsessions and humour.

I think I’d call this late at night versus early in the morning, but I am reading the ministry of time by Kaliane Bradley.

Loving The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley. Great story with delicious writing; “Facebook is for folk who prefer to have their minds filled with soft oats and whey.”

It's been living in my head for days now. None of this novel met my expectations--and I haven't been surprised in years. Really an engrossing book. #BookSky #booksky #KalianeBradley #MinistryOfTime 3/3

The Ministry of Time author Kaliane Bradley: ‘It was just so much fun’ A nerdy literary parlour game that started in lockdown has turned into one of the most-hyped debuts of the year - soon to be a series on BBC1. Its author talks about how her obsession with a long-dead polar explorer helped her find a way to write about family trauma

The book was kind of a mess of tropes and genres but it worked.. so wheres the TV show they said they were making?

Ministry of time cover


Chapter Five opening paragraph 

September found me in Pimlico, on a bench with Margaret Kemble. The air was bisected by an iron hinge of autumn cold. Sparrows gusted along the kerb, waltzing with the limp yellow leaves. Margaret and I were both wearing tartan scarves in fine Scottish wool, brought back from the Highlands by Arthur and Graham. Every so often, Margaret would stretch her legs to admire her new boots. She was dressed like a Southern belle cowboy, her reddish-blonde hair spilling over her collar. There was a gap as large as a spread hand between her scarf and her lapels which showed her décolletage.
Margaret had large breasts, which I mention because she had not yet grown used to dressing them without stays and they tended to draw the gaze. They had a lively upward swell - they seemed to want to have a conversation - and buried deep in the cleavage were a couple of raised acne dots, resembling (charmingly) pink wafer crumbs. Her skin was very fair and bright, like an expensive moisturiser. I note all this because I think male writers are often mocked for their lengthy descriptions of women's breasts, but I do think some breasts provoke them, even from me.

The eighth book in my twelve books of 2024 is Kaliane Bradley's Ministry of Time. As a former historian, and someone who loves science fiction it was interesting. Not as developed as Stephenson's DODO series though. #ministryoftime

Just finished the Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley. I found it a refreshing take on time travel. It reminds me a bit of the Norwegian tv show #Beforeigners in some respects. Definitely worth a read for any #scifi or #timetravel fans.
