The Ministry of Time is a bold, genre-defying novel that blends speculative fiction, romance and political satire. At its centre is a government programme. It brings people from the past into the present. These actions have unexpected emotional consequences.
Kaliane Bradley uses the framework of time travel to explore love, power, bureaucracy and historical responsibility. The novel is playful and fast-moving, but never shallow.
Its emotional core gives weight to its ideas. It asks what it means to care for someone displaced in time and culture.
This is smart, contemporary fiction that offers both momentum and depth. Ideal summer reading with plenty to talk about.
