How to Stop Time

by Matt Haig

Meet Tom Hazard, a man who defies the laws of time. Though he might appear to be in his forties, Tom has actually lived through four centuries, blessed (or cursed) with a condition that slows aging to a crawl. With the wealth of experiences from exploring with Captain Cook to jamming with F. Scott Fitzgerald, his life is far from ordinary. As a history teacher in a tranquil English town, he seeks a quiet life but his longevity poses risks: he must continually reinvent his identity to avoid detection and suppress the human desire for connection and love—as mandated by the shadowy Albatross Society. Resisting love becomes his biggest challenge once he crosses paths with a captivating French teacher. Torn between his past, his present, and the dictates of the Albatross Society, Tom is thrust into a journey of self-discovery, grappling with the inevitable changes of life and the timeless cycle of human errors. 'How to Stop Time' is a poignant exploration of existence, memory, and the profound impact of love, spanning across history and into the depths of what it means to be human.
