In this fresh and entrancing debut novel, perfect for fans of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and The Ministry of Time, a jaded immortal woman and a time traveler fall in love ac ross the centuries, learning what it means to really live and love before their time together runs out. 1605, London. Beatrix lives a solitary life in the shadows, wandering the city streets looking for ways to forget. Forget that everyone she has ever loved has been dead for nearly a century. Forget that, for her, love can only ever mean loss. Because Beatrix has a secret: a lifetime ago her deathbed wish was granted, making her immortal. Until one day, whilst picking pockets amidst the raucous crowds of The Globe Theatre, she meets Oliver. They spend a single, perfect day together before he tells her that he has to leave. She's not surprised; eternity is a lonely place. When Beatrix and Oliver meet again by chance a century later, recognition hits her like a bolt of lightning. It's impossible. He's impossible. Just like her. A chance for Beatrix to truly live - and love - again sparks into existence. Woven between the biggest events in history and the quiet moments lost to it, from London in 1605 to Woodstock in 1969 and beyond , All We Have Is Time is an unforgettable love story for anyone who believes love can rewrite the rules of time.
