About This Item
Sphere Books Limited, Australia, 2012. Hardcover. Good Condition/Very Good. In Mitch Albom's newest work of fiction, the inventor of the world's first clock is punished for trying to measure God's greatest gift. He is banished to a cave for centuries and forced to listen to the voices of all who come after him seeking more days, more years. Eventually, with his soul nearly broken, Father Time is granted his freedom, along with a magical hourglass and a mission: a chance to redeem himself by teaching two earthly people the true meaning of time. He returns to our world - now dominated by the hour-counting he so innocently began - and commences a journey with two unlikely partners: one a teenage girl who is about to give up on life, the other a wealthy old businessman who wants to live forever. To save himself, he must save them both. And stop the world to do so. Told in Albom's signature spare, evocative prose, this remarkably original tale will inspire readers everywhere to reconsider their own notions of time, how they spend it and how precious it truly is. 226 pages. Tanning to pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram. Category: Fiction; Fiction; ISBN/EAN: 9781847442253. Inventory No: 266808.. 9781847442253
Reviews
On Sep 14 2012, BayShore Books LLC said:
This fable about the meaning of time and its impact on our lives may be fiction, but the message is all too real. There are times in all our lives when we can relate to the teenager who believes time moves much too slowly; tonight can’t come fast enough, I wish the weekend would get here, why can’t it be summer? Or how fast time flies for the wealthy business man; when did I get so old, how can the kids be grown already, how much time do I have left? In his typical comfortable style, Mitch Albom reminds us what is important in our lives.
