"Fast-paced and rich with suspense and plot twists, Miss Bristol Rents a Room is sure to entertain and excite fantasy lovers who relish time travel adventure." -BookLife Prize / Publisher's Weekly
An epic historical time-travel fantasy by the award winning author of The Translucent Boy.
Tom Hoffman's Miss Bristol Rents a Room is a quietly mesmerizing blend of historical mystery, time travel, and emotional rediscovery. The novel begins with an elegant young woman-dressed in 1910 fashion-stumbling into modern-day Brooklyn with no memory of who she is. Known only as Miss Bristol, her journey of piecing together the past gradually unveils a century-old archaeological secret, a lost love, and an alien artifact with the power to displace time itself.
This is Miss Bristol's story, the remarkable tale of a woman born in 1885 who lost herself, found herself, and learned how to eat pizza like a New Yorker in 2025.
