About this listen

A cosmic reimagining of Romeo and Juliet and homage to two literary classics in a compelling story about fate, love and time travel from an award-winning author.

It's the end of the world. Literally. Time travel is possible, but only forwards. And only a handful of families choose to remain in the 'now', living off the scraps that were left behind.

Among these are 18-year-old Juliet and the love of her life, Romeo. But things are far from rosy for Jules. Romeo is in a coma, and she's estranged from her friends and family, dealing with the very real fallout of their wild romance.

Then a handsome time traveller, Ellis, arrives with an important mission that makes Jules question everything she knows about life and love. Can Jules wake Romeo and rewrite her future?

A highly original mashup that delights as it disorients...and asks what would have happened if two great literary love stories were somehow intertwined?
