Historical Fiction. HTML:<b>A shortlisted finalist for the 2018 Scotiabank Giller Prize and the ALA 2019 Reading List for Science Fiction</b><br /> <br /> <b>"Thea Lim's <i>An Ocean of Minutes</i> is that rare thing—a speculative novel that is as heartfelt as it is philosophical. In lucid prose, Lim lays bare the complexities of migration and displacement, while offering a clear-eyed meditation on the elusive nature of human devotion." —Esi Edugyan, Man Booker Prize Finalist and author of <i>Washington Black</i></b><br /> <br /> <b>"Lim paints a strange and unfamiliar world with her novel, full of fascinating social commentary on class differences, racism, and sexism." —<i>The Los Angeles Times</i></b><br /> In September 1981, Polly and Frank arrive at the time travel terminal at Houston Intercontinental Airport. One will travel, and one will stay.<br /> <br /> America is in the grip of a deadly flu pandemic. Frank has caught the virus and Polly will do whatever it takes to save him, even if it means risking everything. So she agrees to a radical plan—time travel has been invented in the future to thwart the virus. If she signs up for a one-way-trip into the future to work as a bonded laborer, the company will pay for the life-saving treatment Frank needs. Polly promises to meet Frank again in Galveston, Texas, where she will arrive in twelve years.<br /> <br /> But when Polly is re-routed an extra five years into the future, Frank is nowhere to be found. Alone in a changed and divided America, with no status and no money, Polly must navigate a new life and find a way to locate Frank, to discover if he is alive, and if their love has endured. "Lim's enthralling novel succeeds on every level: as a love story, an imaginative thriller, and a dystopian narrative" (<i>Publishers Weekly</i>, starred review). Fiction. Media Type: Audiobook.
