Jasmin Kirkbride’s new novel, The Forest on the Edge of Time, launched this week, published by Tor.
This moving, hopeful work of time-travel climate fiction tells the story of two women tasked with changing history and saving the future from ecological disaster.
Recruited by the mysterious Project Kairos to change history and save the future from ecological disaster, Echo and Hazel are transported through time to opposite worlds. Echo works as a healer’s assistant in Ancient Athens, embroiled in dangerous politics and wild philosophy. Hazel is the last human alive, in a laboratory on a polluted island with nothing but tiny robots and an untrustworthy AI for company.
The Library Journal reviewed it as “As harmonious as it is mysterious, Kirkbride’s time-traveling climate-fiction novel will leave readers with hope and a call to action.”
Jasmin is a Lecturer in Creative Writing and Digital Technologies at UEA, where she studied for her own MA and PhD in Creative and Critical Writing. This follows a career in publishing, as a book trade journalist and a fiction editor.
