DESCRIPTION

A genre-blending sci-fi romantasy from the bestselling author of ALL OUR HIDDEN GIFTS and THE RACHEL INCIDENT

MARGO AND MOON WERE ON TWO DIFFERENT TRAINS, IN TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS.
THEY NEVER SHOULD HAVE MET – BUT THEY DID.
AND NOW THEY ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.


A dazzlingly inventive sci-fi fantasy romance from the bestselling Irish author of The Rachel Incident and host of Sentimental Garbage, now available in paperback.

“Caroline O’Donoghue is one of our very best writers; wildly inventive, shockingly smart, with characters so fresh and achingly human you’ll follow them anywhere.” – Laura Steven, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Our Infinite Fates

"Skipshock isn’t just a book. It is, literally, a new world to dive into, and one so exquisitely conjured that you feel you live there for a while. A suspenseful, romantic, charming and really unique tale." – Matt Haig

---

Margo is on a train when she slips into another dimension, passing from the height of Irish summer into the chill of an alien winter, from a 24-hour day to one that begins and ends in just six hours. From a stranger on the train – a travelling salesman by the name of Moon – she learns that New Davia is part of a world scarred by uprisings, travel bans and world sealings. Power is determined by time – who has it, who doesn’t, and who has the freedom to travel between time zones.

Can Margo find a way to get back home – or will she choose to stay in a world where her youth is slipping away faster than ever before, but where she may have found the only person with whom she would choose to spend eternity?
