Overview

A profound, beautifully written and page-turning YA novel about trans identity, queer history and found family with a high concept hook - from the critically acclaimed author of IF TOMORROW DOESN'T COME, for fans of WE ARE OKAY, LAST NIGHT AT THE TELEGRAPH CLUB and with shades of THE TIME TRAVELLER'S WIFE. In this beautifully profound YA novel, a trans teen finds a home where queer kids from all different decades have found refuge from hatred-and from time. Calla Quick has no future. Her parents disowned her, and now she can't afford to go to an all-women's college with her girlfriend Ramona like they planned. But maybe that's for the best - because recently Calla has been questioning whether she's a girl at all. Then Calla and Ramona discover Amaranth - a haven for queer kids throughout history - a place free of hate, and time itself. Here, Calla can be Cal. They don't have to worry about the future, because at Amaranth, it will never come . . . Until one night, the clock strikes twelve. Now, the housemates must find a way to stop time again or face going back to their harsh realities. But as Cal learns everyone's story, they begin to wonder what queer people lose when their history is lost to time.
