Bramble King Graham Thomas

"They say that I am an alien. They say that I am a planet. They say that time is my toy. Simply because I have lived for two hundred and sixty-seven years. But it is my mother who is immortal. Because my mother was a Time Traveller." Justine Finn has lived longer than any one in the history of human kind and, in her two hundred and sixty-seventh year, she finds herself living a peaceful, existence inside a beautiful Off-world museum where people can study and observe the strange, solitary woman. Justine's peace is interrupted when Luna, the winner of a planet wide lottery to meet the ancient one arrives with her youthful questions. But, like all teenagers, Luna has secrets of her own and it is not long before Justine is forced to reveal the truth about her long-life and the gaps in her history that have been buried for over two hundred years. Bramble King is a magical realist memoir that sails over oceans of time under sails of love, death, memory and hope.
