” –Ron Charles, The Washington Post A time travel romance, a spy thriller, a workplace comedy, and an ingenious exploration of the nature of power and the potential for love to change it all: Welcome to The Ministry of Time, the exhilarating debut novel by Kaliane Bradley.
In the near future, a civil servant is offered the salary of her dreams and is, shortly afterward, told what project she’ll be working on.
A recently established government ministry is gathering “expats” from across history to establish whether time travel is feasible–for the body, but also for the fabric of space-time.
She is tasked with working as a “bridge”: living with, assisting, and monitoring the expat known as “1847” or Commander Graham Gore.
As far as history is concerned, Commander Gore died on Sir John Franklin’s doomed 1845 expedition to the Arctic, so he’s a little disoriented to be living with an unmarried woman who regularly shows her calves, surrounded by outlandish concepts such as “washing machines,” “Spotify,” and “the collapse of the British Empire.
” But with an appetite for discovery, a seven-a-day cigarette habit, and the support of a charming and chaotic cast of fellow expats, he soon adjusts.
Over the next year, what the bridge initially thought would be, at best, a horrifically uncomfortable roommate dynamic, evolves into something much deeper.
By the time the true shape of the Ministry’s project comes to light, the bridge has fallen haphazardly, fervently in love, with consequences she never could have imagined.
Forced to confront the choices that brought them together, the bridge must finally reckon with how–and whether she believes–what she does next can change the future.
An exquisitely original and feverishly fun fusion of genres and ideas, The Ministry of Time asks: What does it mean to defy history, when history is living in your house? Kaliane Bradley’s answer is a blazing, unforgettable testament to what we owe each other in a changing world.

” ——艾米丽·亨利“完全获胜……想象一下，如果时间旅行者的妻子与莫斯科的一位绅士有染……读者们，我羡慕你们：你们的未来有一本聪明、诙谐的小说。
” ——罗恩·查尔斯，《华盛顿邮报》一部时间旅行爱情片、一部间谍惊悚片、一部职场喜剧，以及对权力本质和爱改变一切的潜力的巧妙探索：欢迎来到《时间部》，这是一部令人兴奋的处女作卡莉安·布拉德利的小说。
在不久的将来，一名公务员获得了她梦想的薪水，不久之后就被告知她将从事什么项目。
最近成立的一个政府部门正在召集来自各个历史领域的“外籍人士”，以确定时间旅行是否可行——无论是对于身体，还是时空结构。
她的任务是充当“桥梁”：与被称为“1847”或格雷厄姆·戈尔指挥官的外籍人士一起生活、协助和监视。
就历史而言，戈尔司令在约翰·富兰克林爵士 1845 年注定失败的北极探险中丧生，因此，他与一个经常展示小腿的未婚女子生活在一起，周围都是“洗衣机”等稀奇古怪的概念，这让他有点迷失方向。
“Spotify”和“大英帝国的崩溃”。
但凭借对发现的渴望、每天吸七支烟的习惯，以及一群迷人而混乱的外国人同胞的支持，他很快就适应了。
在接下来的一年里，这座桥最初的想法充其量只是一种可怕的、令人不舒服的室友动态，但后来却演变成更深层次的东西。
当魔法部计划的真实面貌浮出水面时，这座桥已经意外地倒塌了，她热切地爱上了这座桥，带来了她从未想象过的后果。
被迫面对让他们走到一起的选择，这座桥最终必须考虑如何——以及她是否相信——她下一步所做的事情可以改变未来。
《时代部》是一部精致原创且极其有趣的流派和思想的融合，《时代部》问道：当历史住在你的房子里时，反抗历史意味着什么？卡莉安·布拉德利 (Kaliane Bradley) 的回答是一个激动人心、令人难忘的证明，证明了我们在不断变化的世界中对彼此的亏欠。
