What this book is about
A History Monk discovers that an auditor of reality has commissioned a glassmaker named Jeremy Clockson to build the perfect glass clock — one that will stop time forever. Susan Sto Helit, Death's granddaughter and a no-nonsense schoolteacher, must investigate alongside the enigmatic Lobsang Ludd. One of the finest and most philosophically rich Discworld novels, Thief of Time meditates on time, chocolate, history, and human nature with Pratchett's characteristic wit and genuine emotional depth.
