Carolyn Lewis – Time, Again
Carolyn Lewis – Time, Again
Sensitively observed and poignantly written, Time, Again explores the eternal conflict between youth and age, parents and children, enduring ambition and the passing of time with both wit and empathy. Has Elizabeth been a good mother? Or did she sacrifice her family in the name of success? Time, Again offers no easy answers but thoughtfully examines the choices and challenges faced by all women in all stages of their lives.
Time, Again really resonated with me. Flawed but not fragile, betrayed but not beaten, in this coming of age novel, Lewis has created a character to root for in seventy-three year old entrepreneur Elizabeth as she embarks upon a journey of self-discovery to prove to herself- and the world – that she’s still in charge – Jane Fraser, author of Advent, winner of the Society of Authors Paul Torday Memorial
How we age and the concerns of who we will become as the years slip by, is a central concern of this novel and touches every one of us. It’s a real joy to confront such genuine characters who we get to know rapidly through empathy and realism. A genuinely human story, beautifully written – Dr. Peter Nicholls Associate Professor, Senior Teaching Fellow, Bristol University. Author of Beginning to See
