Description
Sacred Time is a powerful and poignant novel by Ursula Hegi that explores the complexities of family life in post-war America. When Anthony's uncle Malcolm's family moves in, his world is turned upside down, leading to a singular event that changes each family member's life forever.
Through three generations, Hegi masterfully weaves a narrative that spans from the optimism of the 1950s to contemporary Brooklyn, revealing the dark side of family and its capacity for both fragility and dignity. This captivating novel is a thoughtful exploration of childhood, loneliness, and the transformative power of a single event.
With gravity and poise, Hegi turns her astute yet forgiving eye on the human condition, creating an elegant and fast-paced novel that will linger with readers long after finishing the book.
