George Falls Through Time

Not a mystery, but plenty mystery-ish, this grand mixup of history, romance, time travel, St. George and the Dragon, Edward I, and, of course, love, is something to be savored, read in big gulps, and given over to the occasional tear. George’s mundane, twenty-first century life (crabby ex-boyfriend, job as dog walker, spiders ruling his apartment) leads to one thing: stress. Until he falls through Earth, landing not far from home, Greenwich Park, but far away in time (1300). But all isn’t so rosy; most of his fellow residents are all too eager to give George a beating, starve him, and stare at his self-drying Reebok shorts. But things change: George meets up with the charming Simon, and together they create a normal, modest life. Until George is summoned to meet the King and a dragon to boot. A lovely meditation on love and the struggles therein, this is a book readers will enjoy returning to again and again.
