Tomorrow

'Ornate, vivid and deeply coloured. The story of a dog crossing continents and centuries in search of the man he loves is moving and tender' Rachel Joyce, bestselling author of The Pilgrimage of Harold Fry ' What a debut! What a novel! Ambitious but wonderfully achieved. A book to read again and again' Michael Morpurgo A winter's night, Venice, 1815. A 217-year old dog is searching for his master. 'A person who keeps dogs will lose many in their lifetime. I was a dog who lost people. Over the decades - from the guilded courts of kings to the brutal battlefields of Europe - I would make new companions: soldiers, dukes, gondoliers. But they would die, all of them, in battle, from disease or old age. Yet I was sure, in the very core of me, that one day my true master would return. For is I was still alive, surely so was he. And if I could find him, my beloved, if he was still living, somewhere - I might understand everything.' 'An epic tale of love, of courage, of hope' London Evening Standard 'Golden age Amsterdam, Versailles, the court of Charles I - travel with a unique companion' Mail on Sunday 'A tale of love and unbreakable bonds,' New York Post 'Original, ambitious, moving' Stylist

  Valentyne has lived many lives - physician, philosopher, soldier - but his defining work has been his ability to stop the clock. He has lived for centuries, as has his dog, Tomorrow.

  Inseparable, they've voyaged across Europe, using their time wisely. They've attended royalty in a dozen courts, healed soldiers on a hundred battlefields, and met with the greatest minds of the Renaissance. Until one day, in watery Venice, Valentyne vanishes without trace.

  Broken-hearted, Tomorrow begins a search that will endure for centuries. But as the continent collapses into war, he must risk everything to find his master - or lose him forever.
