"With the pace of a thriller and ideas from science fiction, The Watchmaker’s Doctor takes us on Anaya’s journey of discovery through shifts in time. In doing so, it has things to say about the choices we make and how we might live our life differently."
- Roisin Heycock, Director of YA and Children's list at Oneworld, winner of the Booker Prize 2015 and 2016.
"The Watchmaker’s Doctor is a thought-provoking look at the nature of free will, at the same time as an intimate picture of one girl’s growth to adulthood. I’d also highly recommend it to anyone interested in seeing an unsensationalised depiction of life with bipolar disorder."
- Anna Bowles, former Commissioning Editor at Hachette UK.
Anaya, a disillusioned, thirty-five-year-old doctor, has been looking after Gregory, a retired watchmaker and resident of an aged care facility. On her last visit, he gifts her his final creation, an exquisitely-crafted watch, knowing she will die tragically that very day. It will turn back time.
With one condition: she must choose the time and place to reset the clock, and redo just one thing in her life. Regrets, it seems, are easy to realise when you’re dying. Hers was dropping out of school at seventeen.
But what if, after one small change, her life would become much worse than it was? Or unthinkable disasters result from a single step off her path? When the alternative is die now, her choice makes itself. And so, Anaya’s story begins with her last thought. Would I have done this if I had any option but the grave?

Thought-provoking StoryWell the idea is not unique of travel back in times, but the way this book brings it up is surely different and a likable path to travel back in times.

I liked the fact that the author didnt shy away from getting dark with the main characters past, and I felt she did a really good job writing a character with bipolar disorder.

The story flowed really well and I love the authors writing style! Would definitely
If you could go back in time and redo one thing in your life, what would it be?I think Im not the only one who at least had thought about that once in our life. There is always a moment, a minute you always want to come back to, but of course as we know, and especially me after reading a bunch of comics and stuff about time travel and its consequences, you really should think all of this twice, but the approach taken here is exquisite and so original, even now Im still thrilled.The main lesson
