Time of the Child
by Niall Williams

ISBN: 9781639734207
Hardcover, new

Brief Description:
“I am such a fan of Niall Williams.” -Ann Patchett, New York Times
bestselling author of Tom Lake From the author of This Is Happiness, a
compassionate, life-affirming novel about the Christmas season that
transforms the small Irish town of Faha. Doctor Jack Troy was born and
raised in Faha, but his responsibilities for the sick and his care for the
dying mean he has always been set apart from the town. His eldest daughter,
Ronnie, has grown up in her father’s shadow, and remains there, having
missed one chance at love – and passed up another offer of marriage from an
unsuitable man. But in the Advent season of 1962, as the town readies
itself for Christmas, Ronnie and Doctor Troy’s lives are turned upside down
when a baby is left in their care. As the winter passes, father and
daughter’s lives, the understanding of their family, and their role in
their community are changed forever. Set over the course of one December in
the same village as Williams’ beloved This Is Happiness, Time of the Child
is a tender return to Faha for readers who know its charms, and a
heartwarming welcome to new readers entering for the very first time.

    I enjoyed “Time of the Child” the writing style didn’t allow me to speed read quickly. I had to slow down and enjoy every word. I can recommend this book as a nice Christmas read.
