Booklog 87/2022: Jodi Taylor: The Very First Damn Thing – St Mary’s – Audiobook

[jacey]

An Audible re-read of the short story in which we see Dr Bairstow travelling back from the future to set up St Mary’s Institute for Historical Research, getting the funding and acquiring the core staff, Major Guthrie, Markham, Dr Helen, Mrs Mack, Dr Dowson and Professor Rhapson etc. and finally Leon. It raises as many questions as it answers. How much of what’s about to happen does Dr Bairstow already know? Does he know who lives and who dies? Which timeline/parallel universe are we in?
