Harry August is on his deathbed. Again. No matter what he does or the decisions he makes, when death comes, Harry always returns to where he began, a child with all the knowledge of a life he has already lived a dozen times before. Nothing ever changes. Until now. As Harry nears the end of his eleventh life, a little girl appears at his bedside. 'I nearly missed you, Doctor August, ' she says. 'I need to send a message.' This is the story of what Harry does next, and what he did before, and how he tries to save a past he cannot change and a future he cannot allow.
This was an engrossing story with a new version of time travel.
I was able to let myself overlook a fundamental paradox in how it couldn't work with multiple people living their lives over and over again while changing how things go, but I still fully enjoyed it.
I really don't know how it took me so long to discover Claire North's books.
