"A haunting exploration of truth, stories, and love.”

"Fascinating, intellectual, and emotionally moving."

"Caroline M. Yoachim is one of the most brilliant writers of short fiction today. The Archronology of Love is another of her mini-masterpieces. Intricate ideas combine with a bittersweet story of loss, love, and acceptance, featuring memorable characters and gorgeous prose that burrows into your heart."
— Michael Damian Thomas, Hugo Award-winning editor of Uncanny Magazine
The Archronology of Love is a quiet but powerful idea story that leverages its premise—the notion of temporal archaeology—as a means of examining an intense personal story about the endurance of love under tragic circumstances. It’s an eloquently rendered mix of science fiction and romance that deftly wields its neat core concept.
