DESCRIPTION:Join our monthly book group for a welcoming discussion of grea
 t reads. Each month we explore a new title and share our thoughts in a rel
 axed, engaging setting. New members are always welcome—come discover you
 r next favorite book and enjoy good conversation! In June, we are discussi
 ng Ministry of Time. Check your copy out at the Circulation Desk.In the ne
 ar future, a civil servant is offered the salary of her dreams and is, sho
 rtly afterward, told what project she’ll be working on. A recently estab
 lished government ministry is gathering “expats” from across history t
 o establish whether time travel is feasible—for the body, but also for t
 he fabric of space-time.She is tasked with working as a “bridge”: livi
 ng with, assisting, and monitoring the expat known as “1847” or Comman
 der Graham Gore. As far as history is concerned, Commander Gore died on Si
 r John Franklin’s doomed 1845 expedition to the Arctic, so he’s a litt
 le disoriented to be living with an unmarried woman who regularly shows he
 r calves, surrounded by outlandish concepts such as “washing machines,�
 � “Spotify,” and “the collapse of the British Empire.” But with an
  appetite for discovery, a seven-a-day cigarette habit, and the support of
  a charming and chaotic cast of fellow expats, he soon adjusts.Over the ne
 xt year, what the bridge initially thought would be, at best, a horrifical
 ly uncomfortable roommate dynamic, evolves into something much deeper. By 
 the time the true shape of the Ministry’s project comes to light, the br
 idge has fallen haphazardly, fervently in love, with consequences she neve
 r could have imagined. Forced to confront the choices that brought them to
 gether, the bridge must finally reckon with how—and whether she believes
 —what she does next can change the future.An exquisitely original and fe
 verishly fun fusion of genres and ideas, The Ministry of Time asks: What d
 oes it mean to defy history, when history is living in your house? Kaliane
  Bradley’s answer is a blazing, unforgettable testament to what we owe e
 ach other in a changing world.
