Summary

“Tender, lyrical, and brimming with the small moments that shape an impossibly long life. Tordoff is an author to watch.” —Shea Ernshaw, #1 New York Times bestselling author

A jaded immortal woman and a time traveler fall in love across the centuries, learning what it means to really live and love before their time together runs out. Perfect for fans of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and The Ministry of Time.

1605, London. Beatrix lives a solitary life in the shadows, wandering the city streets looking for ways to forget. Forget that everyone she has ever loved has been dead for nearly a century. Forget that, for her, love can only ever mean loss. Because Beatrix has a secret: a lifetime ago her deathbed wish was granted, making her immortal.

Until one day, whilst picking pockets amidst the raucous crowds of The Globe Theatre, she meets Oliver. They spend a single, perfect day together before he tells her that he has to leave. She’s not surprised; eternity is a lonely place.

When Beatrix and Oliver meet again by chance a century later, recognition hits her like a bolt of lightning. It’s impossible. He’s impossible. Just like her. A chance for Beatrix to truly live—and love—again sparks into existence.

Woven between the biggest events in history and the quiet moments lost to it, from London in 1605 to Woodstock in 1969 and beyond, All We Have Is Time is an unforgettable love story for anyone who believes love can rewrite the rules of time.
