The back cover reads:
The child in time opens with a harrowing event. Stephen Lewis, a successful author of children's books, takes his three year old daughter on a routine Saturday morning trip to the supermarket. While waiting in line, his attention is distracted and his daughter is kidnapped. Just like that. From there, Lewis spirals into bereavement that has effects on his relationship with his wife, his psyche and time itself.
I'm rushing to get this book into the post for Ms. April as part of the 'Southern Cross Book Exchange' on www.bookobsessed.com, so will make the briefest of comments.
This was an incredible book to read. I had forgotten what the story was about when I picked it up to read (while at the side of the pool for our son's swimming lesson) and nearly found myself in tears identifying with the grief and frustration of the opening scene!
Very moving, and the passages about time and memory was exquisite.
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did L1nda.
