ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

How to Stop Time by Matt Haig follows the life of Tom Hazard, a man born in 1581 who suffers from a rare condition that causes him to age very slowly, living through centuries while appearing to be in his forties. As he navigates life, he reflects on love, loss, and the burden of immortality. The novel explores themes of time, identity, the passage of history, and the pain of watching loved ones age and die. It delves into existential questions about living forever and finding meaning in life when time seems both a gift and a curse.
