Pub. date 13th October 2026

Two great loves. A world in chaos. And a life that never lands in order.
Discover the long-awaited sequel to the bestselling phenomenon, The
Time Traveller’s Wife.
Alba DeTamble is a time traveller, slipping unpredictably through decades like
her father before her. But the hardest thing she carries isn’t the burden of futures
she can’t understand, or pasts she cannot change – it’s a secret: she is in love
with two different people.
Each of them offers a different life. Zach lives in the present and can’t follow her
when she disappears. Oliver can travel through time, just like she can.
As Alba careens from time to time, moving from the riot-torn Chicago streets of
her present to the eerie, timeless Yellow House, and into the digital corridors of
the Museum of Lost Souls and a flooded future London, she must face a
question she can no longer avoid: how is it possible to love, and live a
meaningful life, in an increasingly troubled, fractured world?
Intimate and expansive, Life Out of Order is a kaleidoscopic story of love,
resilience and hope when time is running out.
