Love and Other Paradoxes by Catriona Silvey has been released by Harper Collins.
A TRULY TIMELESS LOVE STORY…
Cambridge University student Joe Greene dreams of a future where his words will echo through the ages.
Esi already knows his future. She’s on a time-traveling tour to witness history’s greatest moments. In Esi’s era, Joe is as renowned as Shakespeare, and he’s about to meet Diana, the subject of his famous love poems.
But Esi is harbouring a secret. This year, something will happen at Cambridge that will wreck her life, and she’s hellbent on changing it. When she bumps into Joe, she sends his destiny into a tailspin. To save both their futures, Esi becomes Joe’s dating coach, helping him win over Diana. But when Joe starts falling for Esi instead – they both face a crucial question:
Is the future set in stone, or can we rewrite our fates?
Catriona Silvey’s Love and Other Paradoxes is a beautifully layered novel that weaves time travel, romance, and questions of fate into a story as moving as it is thought-provoking. Catriona writes with intelligence, heart, and a keen sense of emotional honesty.
Her portrayal of Esi and Joe’s evolving relationship is tender and sincere, grounded in moments of quiet humor and profound vulnerability. The dialogue is sharp, the setting richly evoked, and the speculative elements are handled with both care and clarity.
At its core, Love and Other Paradoxes is a meditation on time, choice, and the ripple effects of love. It’s about the beauty—and the heartbreak—of not knowing what comes next, and the courage it takes to love someone anyway.
A touching, intelligent, and quietly dazzling Love and Other Paradoxes balances romance and science fiction with remarkable grace. Catriona has created something rare here—a novel that’s as intellectually engaging as it is emotionally resonant.
