Book Club: How to Stop Time, by Matt Haig
Details
Description:
Tom Hazard has a dangerous secret. He may look like an ordinary 41-year-old, but because of a rare condition, he’s been alive for centuries. From performing with Shakespeare to sharing cocktails with F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom has seen a lot. But now, after over 400 years of reinventing himself to escape detection, he just wants an ordinary life. The only rule he has to follow is... don’t fall in love.
