Matando el tiempo

The eleven stories that make up Killing Time, each in the form of an inspiring growth story, take the reader from Belfast to London on a round trip, as they explore what it means to grow older: pain and anguish, tenderness and joy, the fleetingness of the first moments destined not to return. They are stories about first loves, the incipient sexual desire and seduction, but also about friendship, family and the certainty of having left behind the child we once were. Lucy Caldwell delves into the candor of the little ones, the pain of adolescence and the fear of parents.
