![]() ![]() ![]() For Polly, their separation was only moments ago, but for Frank it's been seventeen years (he went the long way 'round). Polly needs something to cling to, and that something is the hope of finding Frank, her boyfriend from the past. The system is rigged against her and any attempt to navigate the mind-boggling bureaucracy is doomed to fail. She suddenly finds herself on the lowest rung of society, no status, money, or independence and in massive debt to her employer. Polly, our protagonist, is not just a time traveler, she's also a refugee from the past and an indentured labourer trying to work off the cost of her passage. Instead, the book takes you on a tour of the immigrant experience. It appears to promise a pandemic/dystopia with a time travel twist, and a bit of a love story to boot. ![]() An Ocean of Minutes pulls a bait-and-switch that I expect will frustrate and confuse some readers. ![]()
