4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderfully touching story of human emotion, January 3, 2002

This review is from: Any Time Now (Paperback)

Shorter than your average novel, Any Time Now does not disappoint despite its slender size. The male author writes from a woman's point of view with rare insight and caps this off with warm and believable characters all the way through.
With time travel a central feature of the story this book could easily have become bogged down with technical details but this does not happen and the human element remains very much at the centre of the tale all the time.
There are some nice touches of humour, which counterpoint the moments that make you sad or just make you sigh in sympathy. Every now and then a sparkling piece of prose causes you to stop, re-read just for the joy of it, and bring to mind truly beautiful images.
Although perhaps the 'bad guys' could be construed as a little stereotypical this does not detract from the story and the end of the tale leaves you feeling glad and happy that you made the journey.
