How to Stop Time
Author: Matt Haig
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
WINNER OF THE 2017 BOOKS ARE MY BAG READERS AWARD FOR POPULAR FICTION

Tom Hazard has a dangerous secret. He may look like an ordinary 41-year-old, but owing to a rare condition, he's been alive for centuries. From Elizabethan England to Jazz-Age Paris, from New York to the South Seas, Tom has seen a lot, and now craves an ordinary life.

Always changing his identity to stay alive, Tom has the perfect cover - working as a history teacher at a London comprehensive. Here he can teach the kids about wars and witch hunts as if he'd never witnessed them first-hand. He can try to tame the past that is fast catching up with him. The only thing Tom must not do is fall in love.

How to Stop Time is a wild and bittersweet story about losing and finding yourself, about the certainty of change and about the lifetimes it can take to really learn how to live.

Our pre-loved books may carry signs of age – a folded corner here, a cracked spine there – reminders of the readers who loved them before you. Covers and editions may vary from those pictured, as some are older printings. Buying secondhand keeps stories circulating and the planet happier.
Returns Policy
As every book has a story of its own, a little wear is to be expected. However, if a book arrives in a condition that limits your ability to read it – for instance, with missing pages, severe water damage, or a completely broken binding – please contact us within 7 days of delivery for a replacement or refund. We’re unable to accept returns for the usual signs of age such as cracked spines, yellowing pages, library notes, or cover variations, as these quirks are part of a book’s well-loved history.
