Eventually, with his soul nearly broken, Father Time is granted his freedom, along with a magical hourglass and a mission: a chance to redeem himself by teaching two earthly people the true meaning of time.
He returns to our world--now dominated by the hour-counting he so innocently began--and commences a journey with two unlikely partners: one a teenage girl who is about to give up on life, the other a wealthy old businessman who wants to live forever. To save himself, he must save them both. And stop the world to do so.
Told in Albom's signature spare, evocative prose, this remarkably original tale will inspire readers everywhere to reconsider their own notions of time, how they spend it, and how precious it truly is.

Time Keeper
Основу сюжета составляют истории трёх необычных, но связанных персонажей с разным пониманием времени, и через эти истории автор транслирует, каково настоящее назначение времени и есть ли смысл в том, чтобы скрупулёзно высчитывать и буквально трястись над каждой секундой. Важно дать книге немного времени, потому что она раскрывается не сразу, события сюжета развиваются постепенно.
