‘A tender love letter to queer people across the ages’ Kelly Quindlen In this beautifully profound YA novel, a trans teen discovers a haven where queer young people from across the decades have found shelter from hatred — and from time. Calla Quick has no future left. Disowned by her parents and unable to afford the all-women’s college she and girlfriend Ramona had planned to attend together, she’s also begun to question whether she’s a girl at all. Then Calla and Ramona stumble upon Amaranth — a refuge for queer young people throughout history, a place where hatred cannot reach and time itself stands still. Here, Calla can be Cal, free from fear of the future. Until the clock strikes twelve one night, and the housemates must find a way to stop time or return to the harsh realities they fled. As Cal learns everyone’s story, they begin to wonder what is lost when queer history disappears with time. ‘Unflinchingly honest, wildly romantic and quietly magical’ Aiden Thomas ‘A stunning mix of historical, speculative and contemporary queer fiction, with heartbreak and hope on every page’ Adrienne Tooley, author of Sweet & Bitter Magic
