The Passage of Time (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781785201738)

When Annabell Thorpe takes her aging grandmother, Eleanor, to the Waldorf Astoria for one last trip, she doesn't expect the past to awaken. But when a haunting melody drifts through the ballroom Eleanor's Waltz time folds upon itself, and long-buried memories rise. For Eleanor, the song rekindles the forbidden love she once shared with Henry Dalton, a composer who captured their story in music that outlived their years apart. For Annabell, it becomes the key to understanding her family's hidden legacy, her own heart.

As generations of love and loss weave together through the language of music, Annabell and a gifted young conductor, Elias Moreau, uncover the unfinished pieces of Eleanor's past and transform them into something timeless: Eleanor's Waltz II - The Beginning. Their creation will echo across continents and decades, uniting the living and the lost, and proving that love, once written in melody, never truly ends.

From the gilded halls of 1940s New York to the quiet hills of modern Florence, The Passage of Time is a luminous, sweeping story about art, memory, and the music that binds our souls across generations. Poetic, romantic, and achingly human, it reminds us that while time may pass, the heart keeps playing.
