The Infinite
Where It Came From
Patience Agbabi — best known as a poet and performer — decided to write a novel after years of loving the rhythms of language and voices. The idea of “leaping” came from her fascination with the leap day itself and the wordplay in time-travel, which she brilliantly weaves into Elle’s journey.
Where It Went Next
The Infinite launched the Leap Cycle — a tetralogy featuring more time-bending quests for Elle and friends. Readers follow her from future hubs like 2048 to thrilling adventures through past eras as she grows into her gift. The series continues to inspire with more daring leaps and heartfelt discoveries.
