Bonaventure-Carmody
by Chris Roberson
After boarding-school student Roxanne Bonaventure stumbles across a bloody old woman who
gives her a bracelet, she begins to find herself in different times and alternate
universes with different Beatles’ songs and alternate Beatles.
This first novel, Any Time at All: The Lives and Time of Roxanne Bonaventure, was expanded into Here, There & Everywhere and followed by three more books.
Roxanne smiled awkwardly, and looked over Julien’s shoulder at the open stall. It
looked unremarkable now, drab green-painted metal walls and a white porcelain toilet.
Hardly the thing you’d expect from some sort of door in time. At least proper English
children in books got to travel through wardrobes and garden holes, not through unhygenic
high school bathrooms.
