By doing so successfully the book qualifies – in my humble opinion at least – as literary fiction and philosophical offering on the subject of turning back time. The Clay Lion is way above that level and raises some fascinating and worthy questions about regrets, missed opportunities, second chances and destiny. The idea of time travel did not appeal to me at first since it has been done many times and some authors in the genre can try to be too clever for their own good. It is the story of one brave young woman that choses to go back in time to try and save her fatally ill younger brother. Aimed probably at young adults as main target audience the book however has a lot to say that is relevant to people of all ages. The Clay Lion by Amalie Jahn is an amazing piece of heart-breaking and uplifting fiction.
