A singular, inventive novel that was nominated for the Booker Prize, following the life of a German Holocaust doctor in reverse, by the acclaimed author of Money and London Fields.

Dr Tod. T. Friendly is living his life in reverse. He awakens on his hospital deathbed and staggers back to a quiet home in suburban America. Growing younger as the years pass, he dumps his lovers before seducing them and mangles his patients before sending them home. The arrow of time has turned backward, and Friendly's reincarnated consciousness, remembering nothing of its past life, struggles to understand a world where violence heals and pain causes love.

As the doctor is dragged back toward the war-torn Europe he had fled and the true identity he had concealed, Martin Amis brings his virtuoso experiment to its shattering conclusion. Time's Arrow is an inventive and poignant exploration of both the horrors of Nazi Germany and the moral arc of our universe.
