## About this book

In Nonesuch, Francis Spufford delivers a masterful work of literary fantasy and historical fiction set against the backdrop of the 1939 London Blitz. The story follows Iris Hawkins, a fiery financial secretary caught in a nightmare of otherworldly pursuit. When she meets a brilliant engineer, she is pulled into a reality where time bends and spirits can be summoned. As Nazi planes drone overhead and the city faces the terrors of war, Iris finds herself at the center of a cosmic struggle.

This volume one installment of Nonesuch blends the tension of a historical thriller with profound themes of ambition and tyranny. While the streets of London fall under the shadow of war, a fascist fanatic uses time travel to threaten the very fabric of history. Iris must navigate twisted passages between past and present to stop a catastrophic alteration of time. This literary fiction explores the courage of women defending their city from both earthly and supernatural threats.
