Time after Time - Softcover

The Swifts—three sisters of marked eccentricity, defiantly christened April, May, and baby June, and their only brother, one–eyed Jasper—have little in common, save some vivid memories of their darling mother and a long lost youth particularly prone to acts of treachery. Into their world comes cousin Leda from Vienna, a visitor from the past, blind but beguiling: a thrilling guest. Within days, the lifestyle of the Swifts has been dramatically overturned—and desires, dormant for so long, flame fierce and bright like never before. Molly Keane (1904­1996) also wrote under the pen name M.J. Farrell; among her many timeless novels are The Knight of Cheerful Countenance, Conversation Piece, Devoted Ladies, and Good Behavior.

Born in Ireland in 1904 into a 'rather serious Hunting and Fishing Church-going family' who gave her little education at the hands of governesses, Molly's interests were 'hunting & horses & having a good time'; she began writing only to supplement her dress allowance. She died in 1996.
