An ingenious dystopian novel of one young woman's resistance against the co nstraints of an oppressive society 'Unrelentingly disturbing' Observer 'Taps deep into contemporary anxieties over the rise of surveillance, total itarian governments and invasive technology' Daily Mail 'Oates is still casting some awfully dark magic' Washington Post When a recklessly idealistic girl in a dystopian future society dares to te st the perimeters of her tightly controlled world, she is punished by being sent back in time to a region of North America - 'Wainscotia, Wisconsin' - that existed eighty years before. Cast adrift in time in this idyllic Midw estern town, she is set upon a course of 'rehabilitation' - but she falls i n love with a fellow exile and starts to question the constraints of her ne w existence, with results that are both devastating and liberating. Arresting and visionary, Hazards of Time Travel is an exquisitely wrought love story, a novel of harrowing discovery - and an oblique but powerful response to our current political climate.
