Description
Elisabeth’s autism never holds her back unless someone or something disturbs the natural order of her world. Alejandra doesn’t recognise how she has changed, nor had she considered that her husband was a narcissist until she can’t ignore it anymore. Mary Ann lives like a caged bird, through choice and circumstance. She is unable to see further than this but is finally beginning to question her life.
Giuseppe longs to escape his homeland, but his health and his mother are holding him back, or is that just an excuse he uses not to change? Clayton is nearing the end of his life and decides he needs to right the wrongs in his family while he still thinks he has time. Annchi doesn’t know much about the wider world, she doesn’t even know the truth of her own world. She doesn’t know it yet but will find out more than she could ever conceive of.
Then Covid hits.
Six people in five countries are unknowingly and inextricably linked. Love, hate, life, and death. Relationships are put to the test, deceptions are revealed, secrets are kept, lies are constructed. Help is at hand from the least expected sources, but hope is what they all have.
All they each wanted was the gift of time, but this wasn’t what they imagined.

The Gift of Time
by Julie Walker
Six people in five countries are unknowingly and inextricably linked. Love, hate, life, and death. Relationships are put to the test, deceptions are revealed, secrets are kept, and lies are constructed. Help is at hand from the least expected sources, but hope is what they all have.
All they each wanted was the gift of time, but this wasn’t what they imagined. This was a beautiful book. Some of the stories, ok most really touched me personally. I have always been a stay at home more than most. But, going out became so frightening. I hope the non-vax will do their part and wear the mask when a new strain comes.. It was so difficult to lose so many . This was a brilliantly written book on COVID

Wow, what a great book! Written around the subject of COVID, this book hits home. Relationships are tested - secrets and lies come to light. Wonderful character development! This book is inspiring.
Robin P, Reviewer
I greatly admire authors who have tackled the problem of the pandemic in their fiction and this is a particularly fine example.
A series of poignant vignettes link the various characters, each of them touched in some way by the coronavirus and lockdowns.
I found the whole novel engaging and it was easy to have empathy for these varied character portraits.
