GEORGE FALLS THROUGH TIME IS. . .
"Incredibly entertaining and intelligent." —GARRARD CONLEY
"Big-hearted and inspired." —STEVEN ROWLEY
"Funny, surprising, profound." —GRANT GINDER
"Unputdownable." —LUNA MCNAMARA
Less meets the year 1300 in this exhilarating and thoughtfully genre-defying literary novel about a man transported through time in a moment of extreme stress, whose modern anxieties are replaced by medieval brutalities
Newly laid off George’s internet bill is in his ex-boyfriend’s name. He’s got a spider-infested apartment, and two of the six dogs he’s walking in London have just escaped. It’s pure undiluted stress that sends him into a spiral, all the way to the year 1300.
When he comes to, George recognizes the same rolling hills of Greenwich Park. But the luxuries and phone service of modernity are nowhere. In their place are locals with a bizarre, slanted speech in awe of his foreign clothes, who swiftly toss him in a dungeon. Despite the barbarity of a medieval world, a servant named Simon helps George acclimate to a simpler, easier existence—until a summons from the King threatens to send his life up in flames.
George Falls Through Time isas much an inward journey as an outward one: an immersive exploration of identity and dislocation that pits present-day sensibilities against a raw and alien backdrop, a strangely perfect canvas for the absurd anxieties of our modern lives. It's a profound meditation on the nature of desire perfect for fans of Madeline Miller and The Ministry of Time.

Just so many men. SO MANY MEN. Maybe at some point after 4 and a half hours, a minor female character finally appeared, but I gave up because it reminded me too much of real life.
Would be good if there were women

There's lots of unusual twists and turns in this and a wonderful dragon character that becomes central to George's life.
George is such a flawed hero with his doubts and fears and emotional needs, especially with his relationships. I don't want to give away any more, but his emotional life is what makes this so unique.
Wonderful narrator and written very well.
One drawback is the ending. Sequel, anyone?
