A â€œBest Book of 2018â€ â€”Real Simple

â€œLimâ€™s steady prose and deft character development ensured that I was hooked on Pollyâ€™s story from beginning to end. [F]ull of fascinating social commentary on class differences, racism and sexism...itâ€™s easy to fall into this novel and become emotionally involved in Pollyâ€™s journey and her search to find the people she loves.â€ â€”Los Angeles Times

In the vein of The Time Travelerâ€™s Wife and Station Eleven, a sweeping literary love story about two people who are at once mere weeks and many years apart.

America is in the grip of a deadly flu pandemic. When Frank catches the virus, his girlfriend Polly will do whatever it takes to save him, even if it means risking everything. She agrees to a radical planâ€”time travel has been invented in the future to thwart the virus. If she signs up for a one-way-trip into the future to work as a bonded laborer, the company will pay for the life-saving treatment Frank needs. Polly promises to meet Frank again in Galveston, Texas, where she will arrive in twelve years.

But when Polly is re-routed an extra five years into the future, Frank is nowhere to be found. Alone in a changed and divided America, with no status and no money, Polly must navigate a new life and find a way to locate Frank, to discover if he is alive, and if their love has endured.

An Ocean of Minutes is a gorgeous and heartbreaking story about the endurance and complexity of human relationships and the cost of holding onto the pastâ€”and the price of letting it go.
