Summary

"Let me tell you a story," she begins. "Because tonight, I am hurting, and I need you to listen. Tonight, I need you to see me again."

Losing Time is captivating exploration of love, loss, and healing inspired by autobiographical elements where the echoes of a past love still resonate. Like a modern-day Scheherazade, the woman, cloaked by the foreboding night in the stillness of time, beckons her lost lover to hear her voice once more. In poetic prose and evocative poetry, she weaves their story through the tapestry of pain and emotional turmoil, seeking solace in shared experiences and a path toward closure.

This novella is a journey divided into three parts:

  • "Beginnings" delves into the inception of love and the unravelling of a once-promising relationship.
  • "Futures" focuses on the process of self-restoration in the wake of heartbreak and despair.
  • "Endings" centers on the theme of forgiveness on the path to healing.

As the narrative moves between Europe, India, and Abu Dhabi, it gathers fragments of the events, revealing the elusive nature of time in moments of anguish. Narrative progression is not the goal of this story, which resembles a Borgesian labyrinth of emotion: the heroine wanders amongst her past, continuously reinterpreting the same events, observing them like snowflakes slowly spinning in a snow globe. The text is dense with symbolism as her memories and feelings converge, blurring the lines between reality and dreams, and eventually solidifying into complex artifacts of emotional experience. It is in this reliving of the past that she finds herself "losing time," yet paradoxically discovering new revelations.

Losing Time touches upon themes of intercultural romance, temptation, loyalty, and the profound significance of rediscovering one's voice. This book is a must-listen for those who crave an atmospheric and ephemeral narrative with a rich emotional undercurrent that seamlessly blends melancholic and meditative poetry with literary fiction.
