《越过时间的边界》简介：

本书是一部小说，故事主要发生在海上一艘“伊丽莎白二号”舰船上，讲述了理论物理学家爱丽丝与她的同行朱庇特在大西洋的一艘船上度过的精彩夜晚。大西洋中部，一个星光灿烂的游艇之夜，爱丽丝，一位才华横溢的英国理论物理学家，开始与她迷人的同行朱庇特暗生情愫。作者温特森利用静态宇宙模型中的浪漫三角构建起了这个故事：在她的笔下，性别与物质一样具有弹性，任何精确的大统一理论都必须包含欲望。这是一场从利物浦到纽约，从炼金术到弦论，一场华丽的身体与精神的冲撞之旅。

《越过时间的边界》摘录：

I cannot assume you will understand me. It is just as likely that as I invent what I want to say, you will invent what you want to hear. Some story we must have. Stray words on crumpled paper. A weak signal into the outer space of each other. The probability of separate worlds meeting is very small. The lure of it is immense. We send starships. We fall in love. I've lived my life like a serial killer; finish with one part, strangle it and move on to the next. Life in neat little boxes is life in neat little coffins, the dead bodies of the past laid out side by side. I am discovering, now, in the late afternoon of the day, that the dead still speak.
