Set in small-town Ontario and spanning the globe, this magical realism novel tells the hauntingly beautiful story of Vole and Bay Gibbons, a couple who sacrificed everything for a future that’s slipping away. When Bay’s dream of seeing the world is threatened by a terminal illness, Vole is granted the power to stop and restart time, taking her on a breathtaking journey through frozen moments and distant places. But time is unforgiving—Vole ages with every pause, and Bay’s life fades with every tick. Thought-provoking and beautifully written, this is a tale of love, sacrifice, and the extraordinary lengths we go to for the ones we cherish.
