The Measure of Time is a romance novel, but with a twist. It is the story of Violet, a woman who embarks on a journey similar to Dorothy's of The Wizard of Oz. Unlike young Dorothy, Violet is a menopausal, anxious, and discontented fifty-six-year-old. She is beginning to face the uncomfortable questions of her own mortality, relationships with others, and the validity of the life she has so far led. The story leads you into a landscape filled with questions of romance, the confusion of sexuality, the repetitions of history, and the pitfalls of denying truth. Violet's journey is a reminder to us all, no matter who we are or where we are from, that all through the ages, our struggles are the same. | The Measure of Time by M M Wagner, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
