Time Tells Tales A Novel in Five Tales Set in Ireland and England
in the early 1900's, covering a century, Time Tells Tales is a
Novel in five parts or 'Tales'. They explore the history of three
families; their interconnected lives are intricately woven together
by love, birth, death, and marriage. These lives are spiced up by
religion, revenge, scandal, abuse, heartache and spiritual
intervention. The five Tales are told from different perspectives
by the characters that drive this novel along to the surprising
conclusion, spreading across time, space and dimensions, hence the
title - Time Tells Tales. Catherine's Tale Love, Loss, Lust, and
Lies This is the sequel to Tale One - Alfred's Tale, and tells the
story from the perspective of Catherine, the love of Alfred's
troubled life. Here we meet this young girl, Catherine, on the
verge of womanhood, who has to deal with the unexpected death of
her Mother under suspicious circumstances, and the fallout of her
Father's grief and the interference of the Catholic Church.
Catherine is brought up a devout Roman Catholic living in a town
called Puncheston, County of Kildare in Ireland, in the 1930's.
Just as Catherine seems to be coming to terms with her loss, she
suffers an unexpected attack on her person, raped by a trusted
member of the family, a cousin older than her twelve years who
makes this abhorrent, botched declaration of his love for her,
resulting in uproar and more emotional outbursts. We can live every
moment with Catherine as we read from the pages of her Diary. She
aspires to become a writer like Jane Austin, her heroine. We have
access to her most private thoughts, written as she struggles to
come to terms with all the devastating trials and tribulations that
beset her. She describes her first love, a secret and forbidden,
eventually giving into lust with Alfred, the apprentice butcher,
who comes from a family of some disrepute. We continue with her as
the consequences of their actions drive them far apart - forever.
What are these consequences? Will Catherine ever recover from the
highs and lows of this emotional roller coaster? Will she recover
from the loss, the lust, the love, and the lies? These and many
more questions will be answered in this first novel by this new
author, Stephanie Fletcher. For sure, Time certainly has some Tales
to Tell.
