Most importantly: This is a must-read book. If the following makes it look like the book is too weird, blame that on the reviewer, not the author. The book is easy to read and has a wonderful surprise ending. Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister opens with Jen Brotherhood watching her son Todd murder Joseph Jones. After this, she lives her life in reverse. Each day she wakes up before she went to sleep. It might be a day earlier or years earlier. This inexorable journey into her past continues until she understands why Todd murdered Jones and corrects the cause. A mystery full of love and joy.
Time travel. Science Fiction. Whatever.
Andy Vettese is a physics professor at Liverpool John Moores University. He meets with Jen at various times to explain to her about this time loop she is caught in. “To enter into a time loop, they say you would need to create a closed timelike curve. They provide a physics formula. But, helpfully, they break it down underneath. It seems to happen when a huge force is exerted on the body. Ward and Johnson think the force would have to be stronger than gravity to create a time loop. She scrolls down. The force would need to be one thousand times her body weight. She sinks her head into her hands. She doesn’t understand a single word of this.” Fortunately, the reader need not understand any more than Jen does, that is, nothing.
This book has one of the most satisfying endings ever.
