About this listen

In this stunning new novel, the inventor of the world's first clock is punished for trying to measure time. He is banished to a cave for centuries and forced to listen to the voices of all who come after him seeking more years for themselves. At last, with his soul nearly broken, Father Time is granted his freedom, along with 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 obsession with time 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.

Gripping, simply told and filled with deep human truth, this unforgettable story will inspire readers everywhere to reconsider their own notions of time, how they spend it and how precious it truly is.

Clever storyline, hooked!!

My 1st audible book and I loved. The story is very clever and I was quickly hooked. I had already all of Mitch Albom's other titles and this is almost my number 1 favourite. I recommend it to anyone who likes a good story and, as with all his books, if you want to listen to the subliminal message great

A wonderful story that makes many profound points!

I loved this little book.

Although this is a work of fiction the the book is essentially about time and how we should use this wisely. The book illustrates a number of profound points so could be considered under the category of self-development.

This story is well narrated.

Meaningful and beautiful in every way

The author really thought about this story and brought the characters to life in such a profound way. It really makes one think about how we view time and live life. I found myself tearing up at the end, with happiness.
