About this audiobook

A novel about love, loss and living in the moment, from the bestselling author of The Humans.

The first rule is that you don’t fall in love. There are other rules too, but that is the main one. No falling in love. No staying in love. No daydreaming of love. Because otherwise, of course, you slowly lose your mind . . .

Tom Hazard has a dangerous secret. He may look like an ordinary forty-one-year-old, but he was born in 1581. Owing to a rare condition, he’s been alive for centuries. From Shakespeare’s England to Jazz Age Paris to voyaging the Pacific alongside Captain Cook, Tom has seen a lot, and he now craves an ordinary life.

Always changing his identity to stay alive, Tom now has the perfect cover—working as a history teacher at a London school. Here, he can teach the kids about wars and witch hunts as if he’d never witnessed them first-hand. He can try to tame the past that is quickly catching up with him. The only thing Tom can’t do is fall in love.

How to Stop Time is a wild, bittersweet, time-travelling story about losing and finding yourself, about the certainty of change, about the mistakes humans are doomed to repeat.

And about the lifetimes it can take to learn how to live.

    I listened to this book because I absolutely LOVED The Midnight Library. Premise was interesting but just didn’t capture me the way the Midnight Library did.

    The narration was excellent. From the first page the writer captured my attention. The story unfolded with rapid ease. The prose and story telling was second to none and the narrator was the key to its success!!! This is not a new story but it is told with exceptional flair and keeps you turning to the next chapter with glee. Excellent

    While I did not love this one as much as I loved The Midnight Library, I appreciate it still for what it was, the story it told, and what message it conveyed through that telling. I will definitely continue on my journey to read all of Matt Haig’s books now that I have discovered how amazing they are.
