**The Ministry of Time by Kailene Bradley**

**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.**

**There are several ways to tell a story.**

A civil servant starts working as a 'bridge' - a liaison, helpmeet and housemate - in an experimental project that brings expatriates from the past into the twenty-first century. *This is a science-fiction story.*
In a London safehouse in the 2020s, a disorientated Victorian polar explorer chain smokes while listening to Spotify and learning about political correctness. *This is a comedy.*

During a long, sultry summer - as the shadows around them grow long and dangerous - two people fall in love, against all odds. *This is a romance.*

*The Ministry of Time* is a novel about Commander Graham Gore (R.N. c.1809-c.1847) and a woman known only as the bridge. As their relationship turns from the strictly professional into something more and uneasy truths begin to emerge, they are forced to face the reality of the project that brought them together.

***Can love triumph over the structures and histories that shape them?***

**Each quarter, we'll be collecting items for a different cause or charity. This quarter, our charity will be Wings, an organization here in the Northwest Suburbs that helps women facing domestic violence. They have emergency shelters that regularly need items. If you're able, please bring an item(items) to a meetup this quarter, and I'll collect them and drop them off to the organization.**

**You can find their wishlist here. It would be great if you could stick to non-perishable items from the wishlist.**
