A spell-binding tale of time travel and true love that will appeal to fans of THE TIME TRAVELLERS WIFE and THE CONFESSIONS OF MAX TIVOLI.
Would you give up the love of your life on the advice of a stranger
When our hero an unacclaimed writer, unorthodox professor and unmistakeable New Yorker first meets Q, he knows he has found his one everlasting love. Over the following weeks, in the rowboats of Central Park, on the miniature golf courses of Lower Manhattan, under a pear tree in Qs own inner-city Eden, their miraculous romance blossoms.
Nothing, it seems, can disturb the lovers, or prevent their approaching wedding.
Until one day, a man claiming to be our heros future self, tells him he must leave Q
