'Wildly inventive, full of eeriness and magic, and fiendishly intricate plots' - Praise for The Lost Future of Pepperharrow, The Times 'Inventive, immersive and entirely unputdownable' - Praise for The Lost Future of Pepperharrow, Daily Mail Suspenseful, philosophical, and inventive, this sparkling novel explores the power of memory and love.' - Kirkus Reviews 'All time-travel plots are fraught with paradox, but not all rise to Pulley's level of tricky cleverness, and few of those trickily clever books rise to her level of emotional intensity.

At once fiercely original, joyous and horrifying, The Kingdoms is an awe-inspiring feat of imagination and passion which had me in tears by the end' - Catriona Ward

'Natasha Pulley has created a world so richly immersive that I felt real shock returning to reality.

Readers are going to love this perfectly realised vision of all the futures that are possible and all the ways that love can break and heal us' - Stephanie Butland It broke my heart and stretched my brain and when I finished reading it I turned back to the first page and started again. ' The Kingdoms is an intricate and complex but ultimately very satisfying read, blending time slip and historical fiction with the pace of a thriller and the sweetness of a love story. 'I loved the vivid and intricate alternate universes of The Kingdoms, and the flawed and complicated people who inhabit them' - Katherine Addison Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC ISBN: 9781526623157 Number of pages: 448 Weight: 308 g Dimensions: 198 x 129 mm MEDIA REVIEWS Joe's journey to unravel the truth will take him from French-occupied London to a remote Scottish island, and back through time itself as he battles for his life - and for a very different future. And now he has a postcard of a lighthouse built just six months ago, that was first written nearly one hundred years ago, by a stranger who seems to know him very well. But he also has flashes of a life he cannot remember and of a world that never existed - a world where English is spoken in England, and not French. He is a British slave, one of thousands throughout the French Empire. Joe has never left England, never even left London. On the front is a lighthouse - Eilean Mor, in the Outer Hebrides. The postcard has been held at the sorting office for ninety-one years, waiting to be delivered to Joe Tournier.
