Reverse chronology books

[Cherrypi]

I'm reading a book that gradually moves back in time chapter by chapter How do people stay the same by Mark Bowles and I'm enjoying it. I also enjoyed The Night Watch by Sarah Waters that employed the same device. Are there any other books like this you would recommend? Thanks.

I'm reading Our Beautiful Mess by Adele Parks. It started with a shocking scene which then went to weeks prior and going through the events that lead to it. Good so far.

I really enjoyed Stuart - A Life Backwards by (I think) Alexander Masters.

Thank you both

October list by Lincoln ryhmes author is like that.
plus one by Gillian mcallister.

the Adele parks one is just a flashforward at the start, which loads of books do.

The Hidden Iceland trilogy by Icelandic author Ragnar Jónasson works like that over the trilogy: the first book is the last chronologically. I remember on Amazon reviewer assuming this was wrong and buying them in the right order for his wife. She missed out by reading them thus.

The Tin Drum by Günter Gras and Times Arrow my Martin Amis spring to mind

Kill your darlings by Peter Swanson is told this way
I like all of his books

I loved The Night Watch too. It uses the device very effectively and I became really engrossed in the characters and their storylines.

Time's Arrow by Martin Amis uses reverse chronology but it's so many years since I read it that I can't remember whether I enjoyed it or not.

A Spark of Light by Jodi Picoult does this - but TW as it's set in an abortion clinic.

Also there's a crime novel by Jeffrey Deaver that does this ... I think the October List.

I Was Anastasia by Ariel Lawton has two timelines, one from the past going forward (about Anastasia) and one from the present going back (by Anastasia) and iirc they meet at the end.

Was coming on to say Time’s Arrow (like PP read it ages ago and can’t really remember what I thought of it but it certainly stuck with me in ways most books do not); but also Cloud Atlas and Ghost Written by David Mitchell play with time in interesting ways. Cloud Atlas has an inflection point in the middle: starts in (say) 17c; narratives jump forward through time to somewhere in the future and then work backwards again.

Also going to say Time's Arrow by Martin Amis. Very reverse chronology.

Also a short book, thought provoking.

This also kind of happens in Scratch Moss by David Barnett (folk horror), it goes back in time and then forwards again.

Wrong place Wrong time?

Yes that’s the one!

Can't believe I forgot this one as I LOVED it. The difference with this one is that the character is travelling back in time so with some of the others the story is simply told in reverse chronological order; in this the narrator is experiencing events that have already happened to her in reverse order, if this makes sense! It's so good.
