Book Title: The Timepiece
Author: Richard Paul Evans
In the book The Timepiece, David Parkins was wealthy and a good-looking man. His business flourished with riches. David lived a lonely life and had one true good friend. He lived in a mansion and spent most of his time in his den reading, while the clocks around the house rang every quarter hour. One day the women of his dreams walked in his building and changed his life forever. Her name, MaryAnne. They fell in love with one another and lived a life of experiences. The Timepiece was a heart-warming book with twist and turns that would make your heart raise and fall at the same time. The story shows you the life during the time of the 1900's.
"David could not take his eyes off his bride as she descended the stair, flanked by Catherine and preceded by Catherine's five-year-old niece, who dropped white rose petals before them as they passed beneath the great floral arches of white peonies and apple blossoms. For the first time in his life, David truly felt fortunate. When Mary Anne reached the altar, he leaned close". This passage shows the great detail in the way the character is feeling at that very moment. He gives you the sense that you are witnessing the special event that is taking place. When I read this passage, I felt like I was watching David look at his bride to be with such lust and desire and anxiousness. I was feeling what David was feeling. This passage lets you jump into the story.
"She was wide-hipped and buxom, her hair was streaked with gray and drawn back tightly in a bun with a few prodigal strands falling across her cheek. Her attire matched her manner. She was dressed austerely in a drab muslin dress partially concealed beneath a faded ivory apron, which carried the strains of previous deliveries". This author has so much depth when it comes to detail. He makes you feel like you are standing there looking at the women. You feel like you see the ivory apron with the stains of previous births on it and how she has such wisdom in her appearance. In his description you get an idea what is going on in the story at the time just from the passage.
"David shot through the door and threw it open. A black pillow of smoke billowed into the room. The end of the hallway was completely engulfed in flames and from behind the wall of fire came a horrible sound. Andrea's cry". This passage was very impacting. You feel like you are in the place of David, and his fears are running through you. You get the feel of the fear that is running through his mind and body. The cry of the young girl lets you know where David's fears are coming from and why is determined to get to her. This passage is showing emotions and the reactions that occur from them.
The Timepiece was a book of love hate and life experiences. You learn so much from just one couple. You get to get into their life and see how life's hardships can pull together and give you something new and amazing. The story wasn't repetitive and kept me on the edge of my sit just waiting to see what was going to happen next. I recommend this book to anyone that likes a fast paced book and likes love, hate , and all and all life's experiences.

Summary: Most Touching
Comment: This is a wonderful book! If you've read The Christmas Box and you're planning on reading Timepiece I strongly recommend it, but a word of warning...This can be an intensely emotional book. Once you start this book you won't put it down. The story of David and Mary Anne Parkin's little girl will get you in the heart every time. You've met her mother, and read about her father, now meet Andrea, the little girl the then widowed Mary Anne wept for beneath the angle statue in The Christmas Box. Andrea is the catalyst to Mary Anne's inspiring life lessons. Reading this book will answer the questions that were left in your head having read The Christmas Box.
Rating: 5
