Praise For This Book


"Matt Haig's latest book, How To Stop Time, is marvelous in every sense of the word. Clever, funny, poignant, and written with Haig's trademark blend of crystalline prose and deft storytelling, this is a book that stirs the heart and mind in equal measure. A hugely enjoyable read." -Deborah Harkness, author of The All Souls Trilogy

"Compelling and full of life's big questions, How To Stop Time is a book you will not be able to put down." -Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Project

"Matt Haig has an empathy for the human condition, the light and the dark of it, and he uses the full palette to build his excellent stories." -Neil Gaiman, author of American Gods

"A time traveling love story... [and] a coming-of-age tale that continues for centuries. It's The Time Traveler's Wife meets The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, yet manages to be even more unique." -HelloGiggles

"Matt Haig uses words like a tin-opener. We are the tin." -Jeanette Winterson, author of Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?

"Haig has been gifted with a rare ability, which is to make the far-fetched - and even ridiculous - seem believable. His books tickle your mind and tug on your heart, and their pages slip by with beguiling ease. . . How to Stop Time will provoke wonder and delight." -The Guardian "Matt Haig is astounding." -Stephen Fry

"Inventive, exciting, moving and bursting with insight about history, time and what it is to be human." -Kate Williams, author of Becoming Queen Victoria
