All the Time in the World

fullDescription

An unforgettable debut about a young woman's choice between the future she's always imagined and the people she's come to love.
Charlotte, a gifted and superbly trained young musician, has been blindsided by a shocking betrayal in her promising career when she takes a babysitting job with the McLeans, a glamorous Upper East Side Manhattan family. At first, the nanny gig is just a way of tiding herself over until she has licked her wounds and figured out her next move as a composer in New York. But, as it turns out, Charlotte is naturally good with children and becomes as deeply fond of the two little boys as they are of her. When an unthinkable tragedy leaves the McLeans bereft, Charlotte is not the only one who realizes that she's the key to holding little George and Matty's world together. Suddenly, in addition to life's usual puzzles, such as sorting out which suitor is her best match, she finds herself with an impossible choice between her life-long dreams and the torn-apart family she's come to love. By turns hilarious, sexy, and wise, Caroline Angell's remarkable and generous debut is the story of a young woman's discovery of the things that matter most.

     Angell’s remarkable debut is a complex story about love, family, grief, the destiny that is handed to us, and the destiny that we choose. Charlotte, a promising young composer whose mentor stole her graduate thesis composition, takes a break from musical pursuits to sort out her life, landing a nanny job in Manhattan with an überwealthy couple, Scotty and Gretchen McLean, who have two little boys, George and Matty. Gretchen’s untimely death is the pivotal event around which the story unfolds as the author moves us back and forth in time. While figuring out her own romantic and professional situation, Charlotte takes care of and grows closer to the boys as Scotty travels for work, and she finds that she’s essential to keeping the family together following Gretchen’s death. Angell’s canny insight into relationships and the demons her characters must face to find satisfaction in their work and personal lives makes this the kind of book readers won’t want to see end.

     May 1, 2016
     In this debut novel, playwright and director Angell's musical theater background informs the story of Charlotte, a young Manhattanite who's given up composing music to become a wealthy family's babysitter. The novel's narrative lynchpin is revealed in its first paragraph: Gretchen McLean, mother of two young sons, "dies without warning" on a dark, rainy day. Even before the tragedy, Charlotte's attachment to the McLean boys and lack of boundaries with Gretchen affects her personal life--when a grad school friend shows up on her front porch with good news, she can't be happy for him, and she chooses to work late rather than spend time with him. Her new intimacy with the McLeans takes over--together, she and Gretchen use binoculars to spy on a famous neighbor, while all her interactions with her own family take place over the phone. Charlotte's narration is so focused and emotionally charged in each moment that it's easy to forget we're reading up to a tragic death. After being with the family in the hospital waiting room, she takes a brief break before jumping in to be the boys' main caregiver, working at an unsustainable pace to do the job their mother couldn't do on her own. As a caregiver for Matthew and George, Charlotte doesn't fit in with the nannies or mothers who line up to gather children from the preschool, but that doesn't stop her from embracing her new role. She uses her ukulele and her composing skills to entertain the boys and their friends. Throughout, the story moves backward and forward in time, from the day before Gretchen's death to Charlotte's first day babysitting two years prior to her time as a graduate student and the professional betrayal that killed her interest in writing music to the weeks and months after Gretchen's death. The back and forth effectively heightens drama, but at times grows tedious in a novel of this length. Ultimately, a rewarding, emotionally satisfying read. A young woman runs from her talent and finds fulfillment after learning that it never left her, even as she immerses herself in another woman's world.
