Synopsis
It is ten minutes past six by the invisible clock on the wall. The young patents clerk sprawls in his chair, dreaming about time. He is Albert Einstein, and in his dreams he imagines new worlds, in which time can be circular, or flow backwards, or slow down at higher altitudes.

Review
A joy...It stimulates the intellect. It bridges disciplines by linking intellectual understanding with the kind of relaxing enjoyment to be expected from a good novel (The Economist)
A joy to read. It is a celebration of a world in which time does not march brutally through people's lives, but rather skips and gambols, forever quirky and unpredictable (The Times)
It is at once intellectually provocative and touching and comic and so very beautifully written. Quite frankly I haven't been so excited by a novel, let alone a first novel, for a very long time (Salman Rushdie)
A dazzling first novel...entirely original (The Sunday Times)
Book Description
Alan Lightman's highly acclaimed first novel, a dazzling synthesis of fiction and science.
