All We Have is Time
On the streets of 16th-century London, Beatrix Lancourt lives her endless life by a single rule: don’t get attached. She refuses to feel loss, regret, or the lie that is love.
And for a century, she hasn’t. Until a charismatic, anomaly of a man with more money than sense catches her pickpocketing at Shakespeare’s Globe, but doesn’t turn her in. Instead, he introduces himself as Oliver, buys her dinner, and pays her an absurd amount of money for a guided tour of London.
Beatrix buries the memory of that day—until she chances upon Oliver again, in the crowds of Venice’s Carnevale.
Over a hundred years later.
Because Oliver is a time traveler, two words Beatrix is certain have no business being next to each other. It’s impossible. He’s impossible. Then again, so is she.
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.
