"A fascinating meditation on the many ways traveling through time can change a person."—HelloGiggles
"This genre-bending, time-bending debut will appeal to fans of Doctor Who, dystopian fiction, and life's great joy: friend groups."—Refinery29
An “astonishing” time-travel debut about science and friendship, perfect for fans of The Power and Hidden Figures (The New York Times)
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.
50 years later, time travel is a big business. 20-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-read for fans of speculative fiction and women’s fiction alike.

      Mascarenhas' debut raises interesting questions about the long-term effects of messing with the fabric of time. Following the four women who invented time travel, the novel shows how their personalities drastically change as they venture into the future. One suffers a breakdown, and, several years later, only her granddaughter Ruby is willing to explore her grandmother's time-traveling past. After a worrisome note is delivered from the future, they travel together to prevent disaster. The time lines circle back on each other, and, though it can be difficult to keep everything straight, Mascarenhas' writing is clear and strong, making this a good choice for readers who want to be immersed in a story.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
