Our Tragic Universe

Scarlett Thomas

If Kelsey Newman’s theory about the end of the time is true, we are all going to live forever. But for Meg – locked in a dead-end relationship and with a deadline looming for a book that she can’t write – this thought fills her with dread. Stuck in a labyrinth of her own devising, Meg knows that there must be a way out. And a wild beast living on the Devonshire moors, a ship in a bottle, the science of time and a knitting pattern for the shape of the universe all have a crucial part to play in Meg’s release.
