A Book In Time

A Book In Time

By Mark Stibbe

Genre:-Romance

Blurb:-A Book In time is a story about a book's longing over two centuries for the mother who bore it.

 Adopted by many different owners-some loving, others unscrupulous-this book longs to be reunited with an elderly author who cherished it as if it was her only child. As the book passes through many hands, it observes not only the way people treat it, but each other, and in all of this, its mother's love sets the high standard against which everything is lovingly judges.

 In a strange demonstration of synchronicity, the author-Mark Stibbe- experienced the culmination of his own search for a mother after completing this novel. Having been orphaned in1960, and having never met or known his birth mother, Mark met her for the first time  at the end of 2021, shortly before she died. So, there is more than a hurt of Mark's own search in the book's quest for its author.

 In the case of a Book in Time, in perhaps a unique way, art has magically imitated life even as life has magically imitated art.

My Review:-A book that has travelled for 250 years and never gives up hope of finding it's author, that is the only way I can describe it. It not only goes through the hands of ordinary people but also Charlotte Bronte, Sarah Grand and even the suffragettes. It takes you on a journey meeting good, bad, interesting and even people that have nothing apart from the book. The story is told through each page, telling how the reader and the book connected with each other. During all this time the book only has one wish and that is to get back to the author, a child looking in search for it's mother, just as the author that has wrote this story.
