cover:
From the inspirational author of Tuesday's with Morrie comes the compelling tale of the man who became Father Time.

Banished for centuries, as punishment for trying to measure time, the inventor of the world's first clock is finally granted his freedom, along with a mission: a chance to redeem himself by teaching two people the true meaning of time.

He returns to our world and embarks on a journey with two unlikely partners: a teenage girl who is about to give up on life and a wealthy, ageing businessman who wants to live forever. To save himself, he must save them both.

Gripping, and filled with deep human truth, this unforgettable story will inspire readers everywhere to reconsider their own notions of time and just how precious it truly is.

I may have gone into this with the wrong attitude because it did nothing for me. Too simplistic by far, & not a patch on Five People... or Tuesdays.... Too much reliance on god & the way things be. In just a few words & Sarah & Victor see what it's all about. Ha! People haven't captured time, time holds them, whether we count it or not.

I had completely forgotten about this book, so this was a very nice surprise when it arrived yesterday! Thank you so much catsalive!

I really enjoyed the book. My favorite quote is on p. 218 "With endless time, nothing is special. With no loss or sacrifice, we can't appreciate what we have." How true!

Thanks again for sending me the book, catsalive!
