About this book

Harry August is dying. Yet again. No matter what choices he makes, when death arrives, Harry returns to his childhood with all the memories of his previous life intact. He has lived this cycle eleven times before, and nothing has ever changed—until now. As Harry approaches the end of his eleventh life, a young girl appears at his bedside with an urgent message: "I nearly missed you, Doctor August. I need to send a message." This novel follows what Harry does in response, what he has done in his past lives, and his attempts to alter a history he cannot change while preventing a future he cannot allow. From World Fantasy Award-winning author Claire North, the story explores a life lived repeatedly across time.
