In her dazzling new novel, award-winning author Jaclyn Moriarty asks the question, if you could revisit one moment in your life, what would it be

On a bustling road in Sydney, Australia, lies a nondescript storefront known simply as the Time Travel Agency. Inside, you ll be welcomed by the smell of fresh-brewed coffee, a selection of baked goods and the question, Where in time do you wish to go

The guidelines are simple: you can go whenever you wish into the past, and there s no fear of altering the present. Have tea with Jane Austen, scream at a Beatles concert, witness the Olympics in ancient Greece. Perhaps a more personal trip Visit your long-lost grandmother, recapture the heady days of your youth, return to the idyllic time when your teen was a babbling baby or watch yourself make the one decision that changed everything.

Is it a hoax And if it s real, what s the catch

When single mother Anna is offered a job at the agency, she glimpses the possibility of happiness. Meanwhile, Teddy s a customer hoping to untangle his recently imploded marriage. And Jade, who has a deeply buried secret, despises the agency for offering false hope.

In Jaclyn Moriarty s incandescent novel, Anna, Teddy, and Jade leap headlong into time, hurtling on a crash course toward one another. At turns entertaining and illuminating, Time Travel for Beginners explores the moments, big and small, that shape our destiny.
