From the National Book Award-winning author of So Long, See You Tomorrow comes a wryly funny yet deeply compassionate portrait of a small Illinois town in the early years of the twentieth century.
"A book that is as near perfection as it is possible to be." —The Boston Globe
When Austin King plays host to his distant Southern kinfolk. he unwittingly sets in motion events that will threaten his law practice, his marriage to his pregnant wife, and his standing in his tight-knit community. For Austin's eagerness to please his idealistic foster cousin, Nora, is all too easily mistaken for other motives--especially since Nora is all too obviously besotted with him.
Beautifully written, magically evocative, and filled with irony and wit, Time Will Darken It is further evidence that William Maxwell is one of our national treasures.
