About the Book

When Jacob Moss inherits enough money to restore the derelict television studio where his favourite childhood programme was filmed, he believes he has found a way to recapture his past. But as he reunites the cast and recreates a lost episode, long-buried memories begin to resurface.

 

A literary novel about nostalgia, guilt and the unreliability of memory, Jacob and the Time Machine explores the consequences of a childhood tragedy that refuses to remain forgotten.
