Fast-paced and rich with suspense and plot twists, Miss Bristol Rents a Room is sure to entertain and excite fantasy lovers who relish time travel adventure. -BookLife Prize / Publisher's Weekly
An epic historical time-travel fantasy by the award winning author of The Translucent Boy.
Tom Hoffman's Miss Bristol Rents a Room is a quietly mesmerizing blend of historical mystery, time travel, and emotional rediscovery. The novel begins with an elegant young woman-dressed in 1910 fashion-stumbling into modern-day Brooklyn with no memory of who she is. Known only as Miss Bristol, her journey of piecing together the past gradually unveils a century-old archaeological secret, a lost love, and an alien artifact with the power to displace time itself. Hoffman's writing is graceful and immersive, capturing the contrasts between eras with subtle humor and genuine warmth. Miss Bristol is a deeply likable heroine-poised, intelligent, and resilient. The novel explores grief, memory, and belonging through well-drawn characters like Silas, Sky, and the quietly heroic Arthur. The science fiction elements are understated but impactful, serving as a thoughtful backdrop to a very human story. With echoes of The Time Traveler's Wife and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, this is a novel that lingers long after the final page. Heartfelt, imaginative, and quietly profound
This is Miss Bristol's story, the remarkable tale of a woman born in 1885 who lost herself, found herself, and learned how to eat pizza like a New Yorker in 2025.
