Jamie should have known something was up when he stumbled in out of the snow and they'd saved him a cup of coffee. For the city-worn Montrealer, the village of Sneaky Hollow is a badly needed breath of fresh air, but it's also, he begins to discover, a place that shouldn't exist.
Nestled somewhere between the backroads of the Eastern Townships and a wrinkle in time, Sneaky Hollow gives Jamie exactly what he needs; a home, a community, and a madcap touch of magic that never fails to delight him. But as outside forces threaten to iron out that wrinkle and erase Sneaky Hollow for good, Jamie teams up with a determined young woman and a crowd of eccentric café regulars with a shared goal. That goal is simple (in theory): to uncover the mysteries of this wonderful place, to understand why it called them to it, and pull together enough maple syrup-fuelled resistance to save it.
A cozy, magical-realist village novel that imagines memories with a gravity of their own, Where Time Stands Still is a charm-and-nostalgia pie topped with a pinch of quantum physics (just for spice). Whether you're longing for a place that feels like home, or wondering if such places still exist, this book answers with a warm yes, and then invites you to stay awhile.
