The Ministry of Time
Kaliane Bradley (Sceptre (UK); Avid Reader Press (US))

Engaging with a new novel can sometimes be challenging, especially for those who read extensively for work. However, The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley captivates readers right from its concise prologue. With just a few words depicting a man navigating through snow and hearing his ship’s signal, the novel effortlessly draws readers in.

This month’s selection for the New Scientist Book Club, The Ministry of Time, has garnered significant acclaim since its release, and deservedly so. The narrative follows a young civil servant who unknowingly applies for a mysterious job involving time travel, secret experiments, and individuals displaced from the past into the present.

The protagonist, tasked with caring for one of these “expats,” Commander Graham Gore, embarks on a journey living with him to help him acclimate to the contemporary world. Gore, a character based on the real-life first lieutenant of John Franklin’s doomed Arctic expedition, is brought to life with vivid descriptions and compelling storytelling by Bradley.

As the story unfolds, blending elements of science fiction, romance, and thriller, readers are taken on a captivating adventure as the two characters navigate through the complexities of their worlds. While the ending may not resonate with all readers, the overall experience of The Ministry of Time is a delightful literary treat.

One of the novel’s poignant moments comes at the end, where Bradley includes a photograph of the real Commander Gore, adding a layer of emotional depth to the fictional portrayal. The juxtaposition of history and imagination in this novel creates a truly memorable reading experience.
