Willa Drake's life went from milestone to milestone. 1967: She is a schoolgirl and is trying to somehow come to terms with the sudden disappearance of her mother. 1977: student Willa is proposed to. 1997: a young widow tries to piece together her life, which has shattered into pieces. 2017: Willa yearns to become a grandmother, but isn't sure it will happen. “Is this really all? Was this really my life? Willa asks herself. She has already come to terms with the fact that her dreams have remained dreams, when suddenly she receives a strange phone call - a stranger makes her an unusual offer. And without realizing her sudden impulse, Willa races across the country to care for a young woman she has never met, her young daughter and their dog. This impulsive decision will lead Willa into a world of eccentric people who treat each other like family, and it is there that she will unexpectedly find peace, solace and the fulfillment of her desires. Clock Dance is a witty, funny and slightly bitter novel about the hopes and sudden changes, that fate spins us in its dance, and, dancing this cloak dance, it’s as if we are turning back time to finally find the way to ourselves. And then we, like Willa Drake, can see ourselves as if from the outside: “She sees herself as a figure... running across the globe, floating through space.”
