A funny, clever, and wonderfully original time-travel novel about modern anxieties, medieval life, and finding yourself in the most unexpected circumstances.
George is having a terrible time. He's recently lost his job, his internet bill is still in his ex-boyfriend's name, his flat is infested with spiders, and now two of the six dogs he's walking have escaped. As his stress levels reach breaking point, something extraordinary happens: George finds himself transported back to the year 1300.
Waking up in what he recognises as Greenwich Park, George quickly discovers that medieval London is a far cry from the city he knows. There's no technology, nobody understands his strange clothes, and before he can make sense of what's happened, he's thrown into a dungeon.
With the help of a servant named Simon, George slowly begins to adjust to his unfamiliar surroundings. Life in the Middle Ages might be brutal, but away from the pressures of the modern world, he starts to discover a different way of living.
Just as he begins to find his feet, however, a summons from the King threatens to turn his new existence upside down.
Blending humour, historical adventure, and thoughtful reflections on identity, love, and belonging, George Falls Through Time explores what happens when everything familiar is stripped away and you're forced to reconsider what really matters.
A witty and moving literary novel, perfect for readers who enjoy unconventional time-travel stories, queer fiction, and historical fiction with a modern twist.
