‘One last touch, one last word, one last I love you…’ Fifteen Minutes – the new novella from Amanda Prowse that will take you on the wildest emotional adventure.
It gets us all in the end, time.
What if I told you that time was not as unyielding as you might have believed? What if I told you it was in fact a fluid, bendable thing and that there are gaps in it, if you know where to look.
Interested? You should be.
What if I told you that the makers of time made a small error, an oversight if you will that allows us to give time back.
Fifteen minutes to be precise - gifted to the most deserving, where they get to spend precious time with someone they have lost.
A chance to right a wrong, ask that burning question or maybe just be held, one last time…
I guess the question is, who would you choose or more importantly when?
What did I think?
Amanda Prowse never fails to make me cry with her incredibly emotional novels and if I thought I was getting away with it by reading a novella, I was sorely mistaken. Fifteen Minutes is packed with emotion and these beautiful stories of loss and grief are both poignant and uplifting.
It's such a lovely idea to be given the gift of a precious 15 minutes with a lost love one. This is a gift that Chen gives to six unforgettable characters and I felt very honoured to share the experience with them.
Every single story gave me a lump in my throat and at least half of them made me cry. I'm even getting a little tear in my eye just thinking about them now. It's very thought-provoking and powerful as it made me think about all of the little moments that pass us by and, as we can't all meet Chen, you never know when you might get the chance to say 'I love you' again.
It's impossible to read Fifteen Minutes without considering with whom you would choose to spend a final 15 minutes, if you were given the chance, but it also reminds us to cherish the time we do have with our loved ones. A very highly recommended read and an easy five stars for an unmissable and emotional Amanda Prowse novella.
I received a gifted paperback for the Love Books Tours bookstagram tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
