GEORGE FALLS THROUGH TIME IS. . .
"Incredibly entertaining and intelligent." âGARRARD CONLEY
"Big-hearted and inspired." âSTEVEN ROWLEY
"Funny, surprising, profound." âGRANT GINDER
"Unputdownable." âLUNA MCNAMARA
A brilliant, genre-exploding love story about a man who, in a moment of extreme stress, time travels to the year 1300 . . . where his modern problems are replaced by medieval brutalitiesâblending the powerful lyricism of Madeline Miller with the sharp wit of Andrew Sean Greer, and perfect for fans of The Ministry of Time.
Newly laid off Georgeâs internet bill is in his ex-boyfriendâs name. Heâs got a spider-infested apartment, and two of the six dogs heâs walking in London have just escaped. Itâs pure undiluted stress that sends him into a spiralâall the way to the year 1300.
When he comes to, George recognizes the same rolling hills of Greenwich Park. But the luxuries and phone service of modernity are nowhere. In their place are locals with a bizarre, slanted speech in awe of his foreign clothes, who swiftly toss him in a dungeon. Despite the barbarity of a medieval world, a servant named Simon helps George acclimate to a simpler, easier existence. But rumors of a dragon haunting the countryside and a summons from the King threaten to send his life up in flamesâthis time, literally.
A confessional queer romance, a swords-and-sorcery soap opera, a literary, paradox-embracing reimagining of the legend of St. George and the Dragon, George Falls Through Time is a profound meditation on the nature of desire that pits modern sensibilities against a raw and alien backdrop. It asks whether we can love each other without destroying one another, even when life feels like a pile of bills.Â
