Time Will Tell

by Hannah Bonam-Young

Hannah Bonam-Young takes a novella-length story and packs it with genuine emotion. The hidden 1950s lesbian love story between the grandmothers is the secret engine - Bonnie and Martha engineered their grandchildren meeting from beyond the grave. The epistolary email format gives it a pen-pal charm. It is short enough to read in one sitting but the emotional payoff punches above its weight class.
