Synopsis
Spooky - wonderful, -ObserverThe Child in Time opens with a harrowing event. Stephen Lewis, a successful author of children's books, takes his three-year-old daughter on a routine Saturday morning trip to the supermarket.

From there, Lewis spirals into bereavement that has effects on his relationship with his wife, his psyche and time itself.
