How to Stop Time by Matt Haig (Paperback)

How to Stop Time is a novel by Matt Haig, author of The Midnight Library. Tom Hazard looks like an ordinary man of about forty, but a rare condition means he has been alive for centuries, ever since his birth in 1581. Now teaching history at a London school, he longs for a normal life. It suits readers who like reflective fiction with a touch of the fantastical.

• Tom has lived through history alongside figures such as Shakespeare, Captain Cook and F. Scott Fitzgerald
• The secretive Albatross Society watches over people like him, and he must keep changing identity and never fall in love
• Moves between Tom's present in London and memories from across the centuries
• A moving story about time, memory, loss and learning to live in the present
