The instant number one bestseller. Reflections on hope, survival and the messy miracle of being alive from the bestselling author of The Midnight Library

Tom Hazard er den absolut bedste historielærer, man kan tænke sig. Han ligner en helt almindelig mand i begyndelsen af 40´erne, men i virkeligheden har han levet i århundreder. Tom har set det hele, drukket ale med Shakespeare, spillet piano i jazz-tidens Paris og været på havet med Kaptajn Cook. Hvis blot han med jævne mellemrum skifter identitet, ikke knytter bånd til andre mennesker og for alt i verden ikke forelsker sig, vil ingen opdage hans hemmelighed. NÅR TIDEN GÅR I STÅ er en dramatisk kærlighedshistorie på tværs af tid og alder. Det er en hjertevarm, vildt original, eftertænksom roman om at miste og finde sig selv. "Matt Haig har forståelse for menneskets vilkår, både lyset og mørket i os, og han bruger hele paletten, når han bygger sine historier op." Neil Gaiman "Læs endelig bogen - den er vidunderligt selskab." 6 ud af 6 stjerner, SØNDAG "Matt Haig har skrevet en helt og aldeles vidunderlig historie, som selvfølgelig giver mulighed for en rejse i historien, men nok så meget handler om at leve livet og få det bedste ud af det. Bogen, som er skrevet i ultrakorte kapitler, der veksler mellem de forskellige tidsperioder, er svær at lægge fra sig og indeholder både tristhed, men også enorm skønhed. Haig skriver intenst og bygger sin historie langsomt op, indtil begivenhederne pludselig eksploderer i fart og spænding. Sprogligt er romanen en fornøjelse både i sin præcision, sit liv, sit vid og sin poetiske lyrik. Kort sagt, bogen har det hele og lidt til."Litteratursiden.dk "Uden tvivl en fascinerende bog … ’Når tiden går i stå’ er en dybt rørende, original og følelsesvækkende roman om at miste sig selv, finde sig selv, forandringer og stilstående tid, og om hvordan vi måske kan, med nok tid, lære at være lykkelige." romeoreviews.com "Matt Haig skriver godt og han får forklaret både den langsomme aldringsproces, og præmisserne for det næsten evige liv på en fin måde, som jeg køber. Jeg var super godt underholdt, for romanen er både spændende, rørende og meget velskrevet. Glæd dig!" Bogblogger.dk
