Synopsis

‘One last touch, one last word, one last I love you…’ Fifteen Minutes – the new novella from Amanda Prowse that will take you on the wildest emotional adventure. It gets us all in the end, time. What if I told you that time was not as unyielding as you might have believed? What if I told you it was in fact a fluid, bendable thing and that there are gaps in it, if you know where to look. Interested? You should be. What if I told you that the makers of time made a small error, an oversight if you will that allows us to give time back. Fifteen minutes to be precise - gifted to the most deserving, where they get to spend precious time with someone they have lost. A chance to right a wrong, ask that burning question or maybe just be held, one last time… I guess the question is, who would you choose or more importantly when? “Fifteen Minutes – is the new emotional, heartbreaking, life affirming novella from “The Queen of Family Drama” – Amanda Prowse.” A note from Amanda Prowse: I think like anyone who has suffered loss, I have been a little preoccupied with the things I wish I’d said, the questions I should’ve asked and often have imagined conversations with my loved one. I take great comfort from the thought that I could snatch a brief window of time with them, look them in the eye, take in the detail of their face and reassure them that everyone they left behind is doing fine… This was where the idea of my new novella Fifteen Minutes came from. Here is the dedication: “This is a fanciful story no doubt. And it’s one I dedicate to every single one of us who has lost someone we love. When grief hits me hard, often at the most unexpected of moments, and I miss them with a pain that is visceral, I imagine what it might be like to have fifteen minutes with them. To tell them one more time that I love them, to share news of our family and to remind myself of the small details about them that have started to fade. It’s an idea that brings me great comfort, the idea that I might, could see them just once more. Now, wouldn’t that be something…”

Is Fifteen Minutes appropriate for my child?

Suitable for most readers 13 and up.

A gentle, emotional novella exploring grief and closure through a fantastical premise of being granted fifteen minutes with a lost loved one. Contains themes of death and loss but handles them sensitively.
