Description

Listen to an extract from The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North, to be released 8th April 2014. Pre-order now!

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.

"An astonishing re-invention of the time-travel narrative. Bold, magical and masterful." - M. R. Carey, author of The Girl With All the Gifts
