Book Synopsis..!!
Writing as Aja Mie, Susan Wingate’s memoir
THE HEARTBREAK OF TIME TRAVEL is her most artistic and literary effort.
Snuffy Cod (Wingate’s alter ego) is the sole caregiver for her dying husband… okay… stop. He does die but sometime in the future—a future she visits on and off through popovers to past and present. Snuffy’s visits occur in fits and starts via some perceived time travel portal.
She embarks on these excursions several times throughout the day, hour, minute, second—sometimes simply during a thought. Nothing more. Nothing less. Is it escapism? Of course not. Don’t be silly.
Pshaw! Meanwhile, her husband lays flat, unmoving in a hospital bed upstairs on an excruciatingly slow slide toward death—death by molasses slick. Or is he? If Snuffy Cod can remain in the past, even the present, might she be able to prevent a future and, thusly, his impending death?
My Thoughts..!!
This story is a rare blend of imagination and raw human emotion. It takes the concept of time travel and uses it as a powerful metaphor for memory, regret, and the deep yearning to change the unchangeable. The emotional depth of this story is what makes it unforgettable—each moment is charged with love, loss, and hope, all woven together with exquisite care.
Book Intrigue..!!
The writing is stunning, effortlessly capturing the protagonist’s inner world and the delicate balance between fantasy and reality. It’s introspective and profound without ever feeling heavy, a testament to the author’s skill. The themes explored—grief, resilience, and the fleeting nature of time—are universal, yet they feel deeply personal as you read.
Accolades..!!
For readers who love stories that resonate deeply and linger long after the last page, this one is a treasure. It’s a book that not only entertains but also makes you pause and reflect on your own life. A beautifully crafted journey of the heart and mind, this is one you’ll want to revisit again and again.
A Masterpiece of Emotion and Reflection..!!
