The Time Keeper

I enjoyed The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom which has a magical fable like quality about time and its effects.  If only we could stop time in a perfect moment, if only we could turn back time to when life was better - but that cannot happen, or can it?  Father Time is depicted and becomes involved with two individuals in modern times - Sarah whose infatuation with a boy has disastrous consequences and Victor who is dying but plots to defy death.  The reader becomes captivated by these characters and the decisions they make, but can Father Time prevent them from making the wrong decision.  A delightful story. 4/5
