Wraparound
Surely the only book on time travel to be based on a true story?
Healthcare assistant Jamie longed for proper medical responsibilities, like offering second opinions or passing scalpels to surgeons. Instead his job consisted of wiping up sick and scraping unmentionables into yellow plastic bags. That is not to say every day was unbearable. His ward was filled with fascinating people, like the curiously old fashioned Eliza. As their friendship blossomed he could never have anticipated being catapulted to the Wraparound, a repeating nineteen year stretch of the twenty second century offering refuge to the rich and privileged of the distant future.
Deliciously complicated, funny and heartwarming, the 'Wraparound' offers a fantastical yet realistic vision of life and love for the 'Back to the Future' generation. Discover what it would really be like in the place where you live in a hundred and fifty years time, and delight in this very British anti-dystopian love story of a fragile future and the incredible adventure required to preserve it.
