Jenny Odell's 'Saving Time' has stormed onto The New York Times bestseller list, offering readers a tantalising glimpse of liberation from the tyranny of the clock. This visionary follow-up to 'How to Do Nothing' promises to alter one's perception of time itself.
Odell posits that we're enslaved by a corporate timepiece, one that values profit over people. With razor-sharp insight, she unravels how we've arrived at this juncture where time equates to money. Drawing inspiration from nature's own rhythms - pre-industrial, ecological, and geological - she presents revolutionary models for living that paint a more optimistic future for both humanity and our planet.
This is our moment to recalibrate, Odell argues. By reimagining our relationship with time, we might just salvage our very existence. 'Saving Time' isn't merely a book; it's a clarion call for a more humane, hopeful way of being.
Lauded as 'an inimitable gift' and 'one of the most important books' by literary luminaries, Odell's work challenges readers to step off the hamster wheel and discover a life beyond the relentless ticking of the clock. It's time to save time - before it's too late.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
