Description

"Astonishing."--The New York Times

Perfect for fans of Naomi Alderman'sThe Power and Margot Lee Shetterly'sHidden Figures comesThe Psychology of Time Travel, a mind-bending, time-travel debut.


In 1967, four female scientists worked together to build the world's first time machine. But just as they are about to debut their creation, one of them suffers a breakdown, putting the whole project--and future of time travel--in jeopardy. To protect their invention, one member is exiled from the team--erasing her contributions from history.

Fifty years later, time travel is a big business. Twenty-something Ruby Rebello knows her beloved grandmother, Granny Bee, was one of the pioneers, though no one will tell her more. But when Bee receives a mysterious newspaper clipping from the future reporting the murder of an unidentified woman, Ruby becomes obsessed: could it be Bee? Who would want her dead? And most importantly of all: can her murder be stopped?

Traversing the decades and told from alternating perspectives,The Psychology of Time Travel introduces a fabulous new voice in fiction and a new must-read for fans of speculative fiction and women's fiction alike.

Praise forThe Psychology of Time Travel:

"An equallyastonishing debut, simultaneously a science fiction novel, historical drama, locked-room murder mystery andmagnificent meditation on how human beings experience and adapt to mortality."

"Agenre-breaking book combining time travel, science fiction, a 'locked room' mystery, with touches of romance... [and] female characters who are competent [and] capable."
--Midwest Book Review

"Mascarenhas is fully aware of the rich history of the genre, and to this end, she provides the reader with a puzzle box plot, a whodun­nit told out of chronological order . . .The Psychology of Time Travel is a surprising novel not because of its temporal shenanigans--as entertaining as they are--but because it goes beyond those familiar hijinks and explores the human cost of a non-linear existence."
--Locus Magazine

--HelloGiggles
