Time of the Child - Niall Williams
In Time of the Child by acclaimed author Niall Williams, we enter the small Irish town of Faha, where Doctor Jack Troy has dedicated his life to caring for the sick and comforting the dying. A doctor’s visit in Faha always brings a sense of foreboding, setting Jack apart from the community he serves.
Living in her father’s shadow, Jack's youngest daughter, Ronnie, has watched her chance at true love slip away, passing up an ill-suited marriage proposal and resigning herself to a quiet life. But during the Advent season of 1962, as Faha prepares for Christmas, a mysterious baby is left on their doorstep. This unexpected arrival transforms both Jack and Ronnie's lives, challenging their understanding of family and reshaping their roles within the community.
As winter unfolds, Time of the Child tells a poignant story of connection, love, and second chances, highlighting the redemptive power of unexpected family in the heart of rural Ireland.
