Description
In text that rolls out as elegantly as a poem and is as perfectly paced as a mystery, an unassuming narrator interrogates the elastic nature of time through a series of questions and comparisons, capturing both a parent's desire to freeze time and a child's desire to linger just a minute longer: those seconds that count in catching a bus; the idyllic hours that slip by so quickly during a perfect day on the lake; the summer days that disappear into blissful happiness. This book's musings on time are at once simple, peaceful and profound.
