About the book: 2022 / The story of Harry Clifton is mysterious and extraordinary. It’s as if he’s being driven through life by two opposing forces. Light, whose earthly manifestation is the port beggar Tar Jack, a former navy captain. And the dark one, which found its embodiment in Walter Barrington, the owner of the shipping company. Yesterday the son of a laborer in the Bristol docks, today a student at an elite school, tomorrow a man with a foreign homeland and a foreign name, who tried to resolve the bonds of an unhappy fate with such a strong-willed blow. Only Time Will Tell is the first novel in The Clifton Chronicles, the story of the triumphs and defeats of several generations of one family, a story set on two continents separated by ocean waters. Harry Clifton, who decided to say goodbye to the past by taking on someone else's name, faces a difficult lot. America, where he ends up, greets him with prison. The book he wrote in captivity is appropriated by another person. The hellish whirlwind of war, like a deck of cards, mixes the lives and destinies of relatives and friends, and it all rolls into the unknown, and it seems that there will never be an end to it.
