Shortlisted New South Wales Premier's Literary Awards 2022
A cosmic reimagining of Romeo and Juliet and homage to two literary classics in a compelling story about fate, love and time travel from an award-winning author.
Year: 2083
Location: London
Mission: Wake Romeo
It's the end of the world. Literally. Time travel is possible, but only forwards. And only a handful of families choose to remain in the 'now', living off the scraps that were left behind.
Among these are 18-year-old Juliet and the love of her life, Romeo. But things are far from rosy for Jules. Romeo is in a coma and she's estranged from her friends and family, dealing with the very real fallout of their wild romance.
Then a handsome time traveller, Ellis, arrives with an important mission that makes Jules question everything she knows about life and love. Can Jules wake Romeo and rewrite her future?
'The most beautiful, moving and rigorously plotted time travel novel I have ever read.'
Justine Larbalestier, author of My Sister Rosa
'A genre-bending masterpiece ... I freaking loved every minute.'
Lili Wilkinson, award-winning author of Pink
'Original, ambitious, powerful ... Barker’s ability to challenge the boundaries of genre and find light in the darkness is a gift.'
Melina Marchetta, bestselling author of Looking for Alibrandi
'Waking Romeo is a stunning reimagining of the classic tale of Romeo and Juliet – meets Wutheirng Heights, meets epic time-travelling extravaganza.'
