1988: A Year in the Life of Edward Pearce
(2026)(A book in the Year in the Life series)
A novel by Jason Ayres
Oxford, 1988: Sent back in time after discovering that the daughter he has lovingly raised for fifteen years is not his, Edward Prince is determined not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
On New Year’s Eve 2027, Ed is devastated when his wife, Rosie, drops the bombshell that she is leaving him for someone else. As if that were not bad enough, she also reveals that the man in question is the father of Poppy, their only child, conceived during a holiday romance sixteen years earlier. Left alone, Ed faces the bitter truth that he’s spent a lifetime in a relationship which has brought him nothing but misery, and at fifty-eight, a life of loneliness seems all that lies ahead.
Then, a chance meeting with a stranger gives him the opportunity to return to 1988, back to the further education college, where he and his friends spend more time in the local pub playing pool and darts than they do in lectures. At first, he relishes those happy, carefree times, but he knows that trouble lies ahead. For 1988 was the year he first met Rosie.
This time, Ed is determined not to fall under her spell, but when she bounces back into his life, with hormones raging, he finds her every bit as reckless, exciting and irresistible as he did before. With troubled friends and others in need of his help in the past, does he have what it takes to choose a different path?
Join Edward as he returns to his vibrant and chaotic student life in the late 1980s in this warm and thought-provoking time travel story.
