Synopsis

The decision to invite his Southern relatives to stay proves a fateful one for Austin King. By the time they leave, his reputation and his marriage have suffered irreparable damage. Against the perfectly-drawn background of small-town Illinois at the turn of the 20th century, Maxwell once again uncovers the seeds of potential tragedy at the heart of a happily-established family.

Media Reviews
This is such a good novel that I'm still shaking thinking about it... A novel not to be recommended to people but to be pressed on them, urgently -- Nicholas Lezard * Guardian *
Truly magnificent...I implore you now, not to let it pass you by * Glasgow Herald *
A novel written with sympathy and with restraint, and in a prose thatt is almost poetically direct and sure... If you do not read Time Will Darken It you will have missed something rare * San Francisco Chronicle *
Here is a book that is as near perfection as it is possible for a novel to be * Boston Globe *
He conjures depths of pain and regret in words of radiant simplicity * Observer *
