NOTES

A richly atmospheric portrait of women's agency and the timelessness of love, Time Squared explores the enduring roles of rights, responsibility, and devotion throughout history. Robin and Eleanor meet in 1811 at the British estate of Eleanor's rich aunt Clara. Robin is about to leave to fight in the Napoleonic Wars, and her aunt rules out a marriage between them. Everyone Eleanor knows, including Robin, believe they've always lived in these times. But, Eleanor has strange glimpses of other eras, dreams that aren't dreams, but memories of other lives. And, their time jumps start as their romance deepens. Robin fights in the Boer War, the First and Second World Wars, in Vietnam and Iraq. Meanwhile, Eleanor struggles to figure out, what's going on finally, understanding that she and Robin are, being manipulated through time. Who is doing this, and why? Arriving in modern times, Eleanor sets off to confront the ones she discovers are behind this, chess masters playing her like a pawn. Eleanor's goal? To free herself to live out her life on her own terms. Time Squared examines the roles women are forced to play in different centuries, the power they're allowed, the stresses they face, and what this does to their relationships. A clever young woman meets a handsome soldier. Their love story unfolds through romance and misunderstandings, but with a twist: Eleanor and Robin they keep jumping through time, and only Eleanor knows that it's happening
