Niall Williams’ ‘Time of the Child’ The Irish author returns to the setting of his acclaimed novel ‘This Is Happiness’, for an exalted mystery of a baby abandoned at Christmas

“The community start to have inklings about Ronnie having a baby – a gorgeous double fascination, both mystery and scandal – and all of this is happening weeks before Christmas, the celebration of another ‘virgin’ birth.” Helen Elliott on #TimeOfTheChild

Helen Elliott on #TimeOfTheChild: “It is community so profound, and drawn with such a generous and forgiving eye that, as you read, a peculiar thing happens: you become part of the community as you absorb the generosity and forgiveness of the writer.”

Listened to this and it was marvelous and beautiful and told of the ordinary and the exceptional - I commend it to you all #Timeofthechild

I have just finished #ThisIsHappiness by #NiallWilliams on Audible. It’s a remarkably peaceful story of the West of Ireland before electricity arrived. Beautifully written & read. The author’s follow-up #TimeoftheChild is recently out. My next listen🙂📚🎧

What a way to lead into Christmas. 5 glorious stars for this most wonderful read. It’s set at Christmas time so you still have to time gift it - to others - or yourself! Don’t let is pass you by

Started #Timeofthechild last night. Margaret Renkl’s rec had me move it to the top of Mount TBR. Who else is reading this now?

This book is like a retreat for the mind and soul. Simply gorgeous: I highly recommend it.
