Paris Adrift
Autor E. J. Swiften Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 feb 2020
There’s a strange woman called The Chronometrist who will not leave her alone. Garbled warnings from bizarre creatures keep her up at night. And there’s a time portal in the keg room of the bar where she works.
Soon, Hallie is tumbling through the turbulent past and future Paris, making friends, changing the world — and falling in love.
But with every trip, Hallie loses a little of herself, and every infinitesimal change she makes ripples through time, until the future she’s trying to save suddenly looks nothing like what she hoped for…

Recenzii
"A high-flying novel of love and peril-sheer page-turning entertainment that hooked me with its wit from the first sentence."
"An effervescent blend of revisionist history, fantasy and science fiction."
"As well as being a profound mediation on history and the need to defend democracy, Paris Adrift is also a gorgeous evocation of youth and growing up... a celebration of that particular moment in our lives, when we feel those connections all the more strongly because we know on some level they will come to an end." -- Fantasy Faction
"Paris Adrift is a different type of time travel book, one I hope to see more of, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Paris, the fear for the future, and traveling into the unknown. Be sure to check out the other stops on the tour!" -- Utopia State of Mind
"Swift (the Osiris Project series) delivers both an unusual take on time travel and solid characters, including a fantastic protagonist."
"Paris Adrift is a really cool book. It's Skins meet time travel." -- British Fantasy Society
"Swift's prose is well crafted, and her characters breathe a sort of gap-year-encounters-larger-than-reality hallucinogenic life: vivid, foreign, and faintly exotic to middle-class English girl Hallie."
"A glittering novel of time travel that you'll want to devour like a mille-feuille in one single bite. I loved it."
"A very enjoyable read." -- Fortean Times
