The Time Keeper
The Time Keeper

Reflective journey through the true essence of time.

If you've ever felt like time was slipping away too fast or clinging too tightly to the minutes ticking by, "The Time Keeper" might resonate deeply with you. Mitch Albom has a way of taking a simple concept and weaving it into a narrative that stays with you, prompting a reevaluation of how you perceive time in your life. This book touches the heart with its gentle reminder of time's value beyond the clocks and calendars.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

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.
