How to Stop Time by Matt Haig
How many lives must one live before learning how to live?
Tom Hazard is hiding a terrible secret. Although he appears to be a typical 41-year-old history teacher, he has actually been alive for aeons. Tom has travelled to many places, including Elizabethan England, Jazz Age Paris, New York, and the South Seas. He can avoid his past and continue to exist as long as he keeps changing his identity. He must avoid falling in love, that is the only thing.

As a little girl is killed, her ghost watches what happens on earth afterwards and has an impact on what happens afterwards. A 1200-pound frog-like creature is sitting in the corner of the bar drinking his martini when an action hero enters and is met by an angry customer with three heads. Other instances of time travel abound. Tom Hazard, the narrator of our Story, was born on March 3, 1581, and he is still living today; he looks to be in his early 40s. Yeah, Tom ages incredibly slowly, which at first seems to be a good thing but eventually causes issues.
After all, his friends and neighbours would eventually realize that he doesn’t appear any older than he did when they first met eight years ago. Tom’s family was suspected of practising witchcraft when he was a little child, and we all know what they did to witches. In other ways, his condition hasn’t gotten much better over the years; just think of how much of a test subject he would be today. As a result, Tom can only endure the ages by evolving into a rolling stone, and eight years seems to be the tipping point. Undoubtedly a narrative with a variety of flashback possibilities.
Over time, Tom learns that he is not the only person blessed with or suffering from this affliction. Even a hidden organization exists, and their main objective is to survive in ever-evolving communities. The only rule in society is to never fall in love. There is a second rule, which is unstated, and it is to never inform anyone about your illness because doing so puts all other albas in danger.
