A BOY MEETS A GIRL. THE PAST MEETS THE FUTURE. A FINGER MEETS A
TRIGGER. THE BEGINNING MEETS THE END. ENGLAND IS FOREVER. ENGLAND MUST
FALL.
In the near future, a disaffected civil servant is offered a lucrative
job in a mysterious new government ministry gathering 'expats' from
across history to test the limits of time-travel.
Her role is to work as a 'bridge': living with, assisting and
monitoring the expat known as '1847' - Commander Graham Gore. As far as
history is concerned, Commander Gore died on Sir John Franklin's doomed
expedition to the Arctic, so he's a little disoriented to find himself
alive and surrounded by outlandish concepts such as 'washing machine',
'Spotify' and 'the collapse of the British Empire'. With an appetite
for discovery and a seven-a-day cigarette habit, he soon adjusts; and
during a long, sultry summer he and his bridge move from awkwardness to
genuine friendship, to something more.
But as the true shape of the project that brought them together begins
to emerge, Gore and the bridge are forced to confront their past
choices and imagined futures. Can love triumph over the structures and
histories that have shaped them? And how do you defy history when
history is living in your house?
