From the author who's inspired millions worldwide with books like Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven comes his most imaginative novel yet, The Time Keeper--a compelling fable about the first man on earth to count the hours.

The man who became Father Time.

In Mitch Albom's newest work of fiction, the inventor of the world's first clock is punished for trying to measure God's greatest gift. He is banished to a cave for centuries and forced to listen to the voices of all who come after him seeking more days, more years. 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.

It took me about 4hours to finish this inspiring story. I supposed it was a novel that conveyed the importance of saving time in the end, but actually it wasn't so simple. A fable. An unrealistic novel. A story which contains three person's life. You can de...

没之前的书好看了 不过还是一贯的风格

A book makes me cry or laugh or think or sign deserves 4 stars, but this book did two-made me cry and think. Feels so good to occasionally brust out. Love the rich old couple's story and touched by Victor for Grace and see myself in Sarash.

简明易懂地讲了三个人的故事，让读者个中体会关于时间的种种。听的第一本Dan Stevens朗读的书。
