Literary Fiction
by Kaliane Bradley
A British-Cambodian woman is assigned to monitor a time-displaced Victorian explorer as part of a government experiment in temporal migration. Their charged domestic arrangement evolves into something more complicated as she navigates desire, surveillance, and the instability of history itself. A witty, erotically charged debut that examines empire, exile, and intimacy across centuries.
