Who knows where the time goes?

Everyone is wondering in Kinvara, and across Ireland. There never seems to be enough of it. When Helen Liddy is asked what she wants for her birthday, she says 'Time. That's what I want, time.'

So JJ sets out to try and buy her some, and on the way he makes some remarkable discoveries about music, myth and magic.

Who knows where the time goes?

JJ does.

Industry Reviews

***** 'This is an enthralling tale, both whimsical and deep, told with a dry, laconic wit that does not exclude elements of sadness and strife.' Books for Keeps

'There is something hallucinatory, if not delirious, about this stylish, magical book, the sensation of tenuous recognition, of watching a dream slip away after waking.' The Guardian
