The Book of Lost Hours

Hidden beyond the ordinary world lies the time space: a vast, silent library where the memories of everyone who has ever lived are bound into books, and where Timekeepers can walk through the past. In 1938, as the Nazis close in, eleven-year-old Lisavet Levy's watchmaker father hides her inside the time space to keep her safe, promising to return. He never does, and Lisavet grows up trapped among the memories of the dead, learning to protect them as governments begin destroying inconvenient histories. Years later, in Cold War America, a young woman named Amelia is drawn into the same hidden world to find a book in which Lisavet concealed everything she fought to save. Spanning World War II and the Cold War, Hayley Gelfuso's sweeping debut blends historical fiction, time travel, and romance into an unforgettable story about memory and who controls it. A Good Morning America Book Club pick for readers of The Midnight Library and The Ministry of Time. Available now at Spindle & Spine Bookstore.
