"My daughter Jenn recommended that I read this novel, which tells the story of a black couple in the South whose marriage gets torn apart by a horrible incident of injustice. Jones is such a good writer that she manages to make you empathize with both of her main characters, even after one makes a difficult decision. The subject matter is heavy but thought-provoking, and I got sucked into Roy and Celestial’s tragic love story."

The Child in Time

Ian McEwan | 2017 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"McEwan’s razor-sharp descriptions of human emotion always hit me hard, and I find this to be the most haunting and heartbreaking of his books. A father looks up in the grocery store and realizes his four-year-old missing; the search for her destroys his marriage and his life. I’m a huge fan of McEwan’s—my first feature was based on his short story “First Love, Last Rites,”—but this is the one that stays with me."

Very good plot, a good historical fiction. (0 more)

Well written with a marriage of history and art.

I was not sure about this book when i picked it up, i love historical fiction but was not 100% sure by the blurb. I was pleased i persevered because i enjoyed the book very much. The characters really came alive and the culture and art you could see so vividly. Would recommend to anyone who likes a historical fiction love story.
