Description:
Praise for The Psychology of Time Travel An equally astonishing debut , simultaneously a science fiction novel, historical drama, locked-room murder mystery and magnificent meditation on how human beings experience and adapt to mortality. -- The New York Times "A genre-breaking book combining time travel, science fiction, a 'locked room' mystery, with touches of romance...[and] female characters who are competent [and] capable." -- Midwest Book Review "Mascarenhas is fully aware of the rich history of the genre, and to this end, she provides the reader with a puzzle box plot, a whodun-nit told out of chronological order... The Psychology of Time Travel is a surprising novel not because of its temporal shenanigans--as entertaining as they are--but because it goes beyond those familiar hijinks and explores the human cost of a non-linear existence." -- Locus Magazine A fascinating meditation on the many ways traveling through time can change a person. --HelloGiggles This genre-bending, time-bending debut will appeal to fans of Doctor Who , dystopian fiction, and life's great joy: friend groups... A tightly plotted novel about the potential hazards of time travel on a person's sense of self, not to mention world events. --Refinery29 A fun and twisty read. --MindBodyGreen [A] superb debut novel... The Psychology of Time Travel heralds the arrival of a master storyteller . --BookPage Intricately plotted ...The story unfolds in a captivating way, and fascinating suggestions are made about the effects of time travel. -- Publisher's Weekly With plenty of twists and turns, The Psychology of Time Travel is a provocative thought experiment . --Foreword Reviews A dazzling genre-defying debut ...witty, inventive and unflashily wise about human hearts; Mascarenhas's future promises to be an exciting one. -- The Guardian Mascarenhas' writing is clear and strong, making this a good choice for readers who want to be immersed in a story . --Booklist The narrative moves back and forth through time with its almost all-female cast meeting their future and past selves in an intriguing, multi-layered mystery that is ingeniously plotted . -- The Daily Mail [A] compelling, confident debut...wrapping the psychological exploration around a diverse, real set of characters and a thrilling murder mystery . -- SFX Magazine, 4 1/2 stars A surprising, mysterious, and sometimes unsettling novel , threaded with off-kilter ideas and wonderful insights." --Elan Mastai, author of All Our Wrong Todays " An elegant braid of a narrative, delivering queer joy and time-traveling women ...Fans of Jo Walton will feel very much at home in this gorgeous, nested tale." --Meg Elison, author of The Book of the Unnamed Midwife The Psychology of Time Travel is the most imaginative thriller I've read in ages: captivating, delightful, and thoroughly original. Ms. Mascarenhas' genius is in patiently exploring the small, fascinating details of a world in which time travel is possible... an all-around wonderful novel . --Jennie Melamed, author of Gather the Daughters Kate Mascarenhas deftly weaves an innovative tale with The Psychology of Time Travel -- part mystery; part time travel.
