Matt Haig «How to Stop Time» is an adventure thriller about love carried through the ages.
Tom Hazard is an unremarkable-looking man in his forties. But he has a secret — he was born in 1581. Tom is not immortal, he just has such a feature: he ages about 15 times slower than other people. Tom is in a secret society like him. In order not to attract too much attention and keep secrets, members of this society radically change their lives every 8 years. When again it is Tom’s turn to change his life, he chooses the role of a history teacher in one of the British schools. Who else can tell him about the events to which he was a personal witness? However, Tom also has his own — purely personal — reasons for moving to London.
Film company «Sunny March» bought the rights to the novel six months before its official release, and the main role in this adaptation will be played by everyone’s favorite Benedict Cumberbatch.
