About this product
Product Information
Until John Wilson met the warm, wise woman who became his fourth wife, the object of his most intense devotion had always been the work of William Shakespeare. From his feat of memorizing Romeo and Juliet and half a dozen other plays as a student to his evangelical zeal as a professor, John's faith in the Bard has shaped his life. But now his mental powers have been diminished by dementia, and his wife has reluctantly moved him to a residential care facility. Even there, as he struggles to understand what's going on around him, John's knowledge of the plays helps him make sense of his fractured world.Yet, when his only child, Miranda--with whom he has not spoken since a devastating misunderstanding a decade ago--comes to visit, John begins to question some of his deepest convictions. In his devotion to Shakespeare, did he lose his way? Did he wrong the child who wronged him? The story of an imperfect father and a wounded daughter's efforts to achieve some authentic connection even now, Still Time celebrates redemption and the gift of second chances. It is that rare novel that ends on a resounding note of hope, reminding us that there is always time to live fully and love deeply, so long as we are alive.

Reviews
"The wonderful Jean Hegland returns with a moving, beautiful story about what persists and what doesn't, about what can be repaired and what can't. This is a tale focused and personal, but also large and philosophical; and all of it infused with and guided by the great Shakespeare. Men are men; the best sometimes forget."--Karen Joy Fowler, author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves "Anyone who knows only fragments of Shakespeare will be fascinated and deeply moved by this insightful story of a Shakespeare scholar experiencing dementia. Fellow Shakespeareans will delight in the way the myriad allusions to the plays are intertwined with beautifully crafted elegiac descriptions of the old man's life in a home and his dissolving family memories. Still Time is a novel Shakespeare would be proud of." --David Crystal, author of The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language and Shakespeare's Words "The tone of Still Time is deceptively quiet. Why then did I read it with heart-pounding excitement? Because it is, from start to finish, a high-wire act of literary daring. Only a master could bring off this feat. Jean Hegland brings it off." --Rebecca Goldstein, author of Plato at the Googleplex ". . . this book is for anyone who appreciates a beautifully written, character-driven story . . . Heartbreaking in the best possible way."-- Booklist, "The wonderful Jean Hegland returns with a moving, beautiful story about what persists and what doesn't, about what can be repaired and what can't.

Heartbreaking in the best possible way." -- Booklist , starred review "Just as Into the Forest , Jean Hegland haunts yet again in Still Time , a highly evocative read, managing to strike with pinpoint accuracy at several raw emotions. It's also a wonderfully intelligent read and Jean [Hegland] deftly weaves in characters and prose from Shakespeare's greatest, expertly creating connections between these references and John's deteriorating thoughts. Absolutely recommended." -- Portsmouth Review "An absolutely riveting read from beginning to end . . . Jean Hegland is a superb novelist whose deftly crafted characters and thoroughly absorbing story make this one of those all to rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf . . . Very highly recommended." -- Midwest Book Review, "The wonderful Jean Hegland returns with a moving, beautiful story about what persists and what doesn't, about what can be repaired and what can't.

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.

This item came in exactly as pictured, and the seller posted immediately and was very gracious. I didn't ask for a partial refund. Why would I? I bought what I was expecting and received what I paid for the item. Not sure if I have bought from this seller before, but they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My future transactions with them will no doubt be perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
