The Book Club book
Tom Hazard looks like an ordinary 41-year-old, but due to a rare condition he's been alive for centuries. We travel with him from Elizabethan England to Paris in the 1920s, from New York to the South Pacific. Tom has seen a lot, but now wants an ordinary life. Can he control his past? Can he prevent himself from falling in love in the present? This is a wonderful book about losing and finding yourself, about coping in a changing world, and about learning how to really enjoy the moment. It throws a light on what it means to live a meaningful life.
The movie of How to Stop Time is in development starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
Geoff says:
"I chose this book because I read it and loved it! The long life of our hero is told in flashbacks and so we experience history through his eyes, which is always shown with a light touch. The themes of what it means to live and love are thought-provoking."
