ABOUT THIS BOOK 1967: Four female scientists invent a time-travel machine. They are on the cusp of fame: the pioneers who opened the world to new possibilities. But then one of them suffers a breakdown and puts the whole project in peril. 2017: Ruby knows her beloved Granny Bee was a pioneer, but they never talk about the past. Though time travel is now big business, Bee has never been part of it. Then they receive a message from the future--a newspaper clipping reporting the mysterious death of an elderly lady. 2018: When Odette discovered the body, she went into shock. Blood everywhere, bullet wounds, flesh. But when the inquest fails to answer any of her questions, Odette is frustrated. Who is this dead woman that haunts her dreams? And why is everyone determined to cover up her murder? MY REVIEW I have to admit that when it comes to time travel books I either love them or loathe them - there is no in between with me - so I'm always a little nervous when starting one because I really want it to be a hit. I can 100% say that I LOVED this story so much and not just because the time travel element is wonderfully executed, but also because of the rich characters, the depth of the relationships involved, and the sheer exquisiteness of the words on the page. In 1967, four female pioneers create time travel. These women are not only top of their field but they are also friends and comrades in what is often a lonely existence. When one of the group suffers a mental breakdown, she is shut out and abandoned. But she hasn't lost all of her friends as the future proves ... In 2017 Ruby adores her Granny Bee who yearns to time travel one more time before it is too late. But when they receive a message from the future about a murder, they are unsure if it is a warning or a threat. But Ruby will do whatever it takes to protect those she loves. When Odette comes upon a gruesome scene and discovers a body in 2018, she cannot move on and forget about it as everyone advises. She needs to know who the victim was and what happened to her. She needs to know the truth, THE PSYCHOLOGY OF TIME TRAVEL by Kate Mascarenhas is everything I wanted it to be and so much more. Each chapter sucked me in and I felt a part of this cleverly plotted story more and more as I turned the page. The settings, the characters, the detail, are all perfect and this book would definitely suit the silver screen - I would queue for hours to see that movie! There is danger, science, strong and intelligent female characters, friendship, power, love and so much more nestled within these pages and whether time travel is your thing or not, THE PSYCHOLOGY OF TIME TRAVEL by Kate Mascarenhas is the novel for you - it's a novel for everyone!
