Silvey, Catriona
Entry updated 15 September 2025. Tagged: Author.
(? - ) Scottish author, in England from early adulthood. She is of sf interest for her first novel, Meet Me in Another Life (2021), which follows two lovers through a series of seeming Parallel Worlds as they try to understand themselves and what is happening to them (or what, Godgame-fashion, they are in the end themselves making happen). The text makes clear more or less explicit analogies to tales like Kate Atkinson's Life After Life (2013) or to a film like Groundhog Day (1993). Love and Other Paradoxes (2025) is a Time Travel tale in which an aspiring poet in 2005 becomes involved with a traveller from a century up the line whose personal agenda may interfere with his budding career.
