FOR WHOM WOULD YOU REWRITE HISTORY?
In the mysterious "chronospace," a vast library filled with books containing the memories of those who have passed away, access is granted through special watches, once family heirlooms now under government control. There, in 1938, eleven-year-old Lisavet Levi becomes trapped while waiting for her watchmaker father to come and get her. As the years go by, she grows up among books and ghosts, gaining the ability to see the world through the memories of others. When she discovers that agents are destroying books to control History, she decides to save whatever she can by creating her own book of memories. Until the appearance of the American spy Ernest Dicken changes her life and the course of chronospace.
Years later, in 1965, sixteen-year-old Amelia Dicken mourns the death of her uncle Ernest, when a CIA agent recruits her to find the lost book he was searching for. Her first visit to chronospace reveals that the past and the truth are not as linear as she thought.
THE BOOK OF LOST HOURS is a captivating story about time, memory, and the sacrifices we make for those we love, ideal for fans of The Midnight Library and The Ministry of Time.
