KALIANE BRADLEY: THE MINISTRY OF TIME
Bending space, time and genre with a spy thriller rom-com
The Ministry of Time landed on multiple bestseller lists thanks to its highly original, genre-defying story, which combines elements of time travel, romance and spy thriller.
Described by Booker Prize winner Eleanor Catton as "outrageously brilliant", Kaliane Bradley's debut challenges the boundaries of literary and genre fiction as the past meets the future when a disaffected civil servant accepts a job at a mysterious new government ministry specialising in "historical expats".
Join Kaliane and host Spectrum editor Melanie Kembrey to unpack the triumph of Kaliane's debut novel and what it means to change the world by defying history.
Co-presented by UNSW Sydney.
Kaliane Bradley appears thanks to the support of Rosie Williams and John Grill AO.
