In 1967, four female scientists worked together to build the world’s first time machine. But just as they are about to debut their creation, one of them suffers a breakdown, putting the whole project - and future of time travel - in jeopardy. To protect their invention, one member is exiled from the team - erasing her contributions from history.

Fifty years later, time travel is a big business. Twenty-something Ruby Rebello knows her beloved grandmother Granny Bee was one of the pioneers, though no one will tell her more. But when Bee receives a mysterious newspaper clipping from the future reporting the murder of an unidentified woman, Ruby becomes obsessed: could it be Bee? Who would want her dead? And most importantly of all: can her murder be stopped?

Traversing the decades and told from alternating perspectives, The Psychology of Time Travel introduces a fabulous new voice in fiction and a new must-listen for fans of speculative fiction and women’s fiction alike.

Time travel stories are one of my favorite genres. i don’t know know if the fact that i was confused was me or the book. I suppose actually reading it would have made keeping track of the dates easier and possibly how everyone was related. It did however have a clever conclusion.

Where to start??? I love the absolute psychology of the book- delving into characters development and more. This book makes me think of parts work (see Internal Family Systems or your nearest up-to-date therapist). The women characters (which are the major the characters) are human AND strong. They have flaws, they love, they murder, they make up- they meet themselves…. Just go read it already! This is gratefully on my favorites list.

A New Favorite!

I was worried in the beginning that I wouldn’t able to keep up with all the back and forth and character builds but it came full circle and was just brilliant. I really enjoyed this read. Made you think and wonder what if we had invented time machines. Great listen.

Mascarenhas is quick to get the story started. Within the first three chapters you're attention has been captured. Time travel exists, a murder has been committed and love has many grey areas.

The descriptions provide such imagery that you can vividly place yourself at the scene. Not only was I able to picture the scene in precise detail, but at one point I could even smell the scene.

This past, present and future murder mystery is truly a poetic one. Though I was able to solve the mystery, I appreciated the clever twists and a debunked suspicion. In the end, everything comes together and nothing is left unanswered.

You need to keep on your toes to follow the time shift! But worth it!

Great “grounded” fantasy!

I am notorious for figuring out the killer in mystery books and movies, and this book was no different. No spoilers here but I knew from very early on who did it. The surprising part of the experience was how enjoyable it was and how many other surprises delighted me. Definitely recommend.

A great mix of science fiction and mystery. I’m so glad I listened to it because the voices helped distinguish the characters.

Mind bending!

Halfway through it occurred to me; I'm not sure there's a male character in the entire book. How fun!

I was spellbound from start to finish. The story was masterfully mapped out, folding in on it's self over and over again, creating a completely unique take on the time travel genre. I loved it.
