England‚ September 1934.

Two young lovers‚ Catherine and Jonathan‚ have trespassed into the rose garden of an abandoned gracious home in the English countryside. Hearing people coming‚ they hide‚ and witness the celebrated poet‚ T.S. ('Tom') Eliot‚ and his close friend‚ Emily Hale‚ enter the rose garden and bury a small tobacco tin together.

Tom and Emily knew each other in America in their youth; now middle-aged‚ they have come together again. But Tom is married‚ and his wife has no intention of letting him go. Is what binds Tom and Emily stronger than simple nostalgia and a desire to escape their problems in the 'real' world?

In the enclosed world of an English village one autumn‚ their story becomes entwined with Catherine and Jonathan‚ who are young‚ certain in their new-found love‚ and each full of promise.

This is a moving‚ beautifully written novel of second chances and the luminous experience of first love from one of Australia's finest writers.

'a writer worth cherishing. His prose is unfailingly assured‚ lyrical‚ poised' , The Australian on The Time We Have Taken
