Jack Mason’s life is a Paradox. He can recall events before they’ve happened, he knows people before he’s met them and he can remember conversations he hasn’t yet had. Only when the paradox is triggered on a fateful day by a freak accident will Jack be able to discover the only solution he has to end it.
Set in an isolated English village over a time span of 160 years, Paradox is an unconventional story of love, life and loss.
