The Borrowed Hours
In a near-future Newcastle, a library archive begins lending more than books. When readers start returning with missing hours in their lives, a quiet cataloguer has to trace the pattern before the city’s timekeeping systems begin to fail. The deeper she goes, the more the archive looks less like a collection and more like a machine for deciding what gets remembered.
