Set in Vienna from 1945 to 1990, BOUND IN TIME begins as a tale of three friends, Polly, Liese, and Helene, whose world is irrevocably changed by World War II. Only Polly survives, but through the force of her memories, she keeps her friends alive. When Liese's granddaughter, Helene's daughter, and Kurt, the son of her enemy, enter her life, the pieces of their exploded lives begin to come together once again. Compelled by murder and blackmail, loyalty and betrayal, guilt of both perpetrator and survivor, major and minor characters intertwine across three generations, their actions and reactions impacting inexorably on one another, creating a tight tapestry of people, times, and places. BOUND IN TIME explores the universal need to feel connected, to put the past to rest, while understanding one's own place in the tapestry that history has woven.
