He's got a spider-infested apartment, and two of the six dogs he's walking in London have just escaped. It's pure undiluted stress that sends him into a spiral, all the way to the year 1300.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen he comes to, George recognizes the same rolling hills of Greenwich Park. But the luxuries and phone service of modernity are nowhere. In their place are locals with a bizarre, slanted speech in awe of his foreign clothes, who swiftly toss him in a dungeon. Despite the barbarity of a medieval world, a servant named Simon helps George acclimate to a simpler, easier existence--until a summons from the King threatens to send his life up in flames.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge Falls Through Time isas much an inward journey as an outward one: an immersive exploration of identity and dislocation that pits present-day sensibilities against a raw and alien backdrop, a strangely perfect canvas for the absurd anxieties of our modern lives. It's a profound meditation on the nature of desire perfect for fans of Madeline Miller and The Ministry of Time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ryan Collett","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53698701197525,"sku":"9780063463509","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/1893\/3973\/files\/9780063463509.jpg?v=1776789264","url":"https:\/\/thecrookedshelfbooksbrews.com\/products\/george-falls-through-time-a-novel","provider":"The Crooked Shelf, Books \u0026 Brews","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
