SOME STORIES CANNOT BE TOLD IN JUST ONE LIFETIME.
Harry August is on his deathbed. Again.
No matter what he does or the decisions he makes, when death comes, Harry always returns to where he began, a child with all the knowledge of a life he has already lived a dozen times before. Nothing ever changes.

As Harry nears the end of his eleventh life, a little girl appears at his bedside. "I nearly missed you, Doctor August," she says. "I need to send a message."
This is the story of what Harry does next, and what he did before, and how he tries to save a past he cannot change and a future he cannot allow.

克莱尔•诺丝,本名凯瑟琳•韦伯,另一笔名为凯特•格里芬,天才型小说家,曾被英国媒体评为“将来成就或能与J.K.罗琳比肩”。她的第一本小说《镜中梦》是她14岁时完成的。这本书于2002年出版,当时就被拿来和英国奇幻文学大师泰瑞•普莱契爵士以及英国最杰出的作家之一、“黑质三部曲”的作者菲利普•普尔曼相比较。后来又用本名陆续出版了七部青年人小说,赢得了广泛的高度评价,并凭借《时间守护人》和《荷瑞修•莱尔的非凡又不可思议的冒险》两度获得卡内基文学奖提名。之后,她以凯特•格里芬的笔名又出版了六部成人幻想小说。
2014年,凯瑟琳以克莱尔•诺丝为笔名,出版了《哈利的十五次人生》。这本书迅速畅销,连续3个月进入英国亚马逊总榜TOP100,斩获英国约翰•坎贝尔纪念奖,又获得英国阿瑟•克拉克奖、英国科幻协会奖等多个奖项提名。
《触摸》是克莱尔•诺丝的第二部悬疑科幻小说,出版后收获好评无数,英国《独立报》评论其“堪称经典之作”。
