A BOY MEETS A GIRL. THE PAST MEETS THE FUTURE. A FINGER MEETS A TRIGGER. THE BEGINNING MEETS
THE END. ENGLAND IS FOREVER. ENGLAND MUST FALL.   In the near future  a disaffected civil
servant is offered a lucrative job in a mysterious new government ministry gathering 'expats'
from across history to test the limits of time-travel.  Her role is to work as a 'bridge':
living with  assisting and monitoring the expat known as '1847' - Commander Graham Gore. As far
as history is concerned  Commander Gore died on Sir John Franklin's doomed expedition to the
Arctic  so he's a little disoriented to find himself alive and surrounded by outlandish
concepts such as 'washing machine'  'Spotify' and 'the collapse of the British Empire'. With an
appetite for discovery and a seven-a-day cigarette habit  he soon adjusts  and during a long 
sultry summer he and his bridge move from awkwardness to genuine friendship  to something more.
But as the true shape of the project that brought them together begins to emerge  Gore and the
bridge are forced to confront their past choices and imagined futures. Can love triumph over
the structures and histories that have shaped them? And how do you defy history when history is
living in your house?
