We all need to sit and rest from time to time. To think, ponder, hope, pray. Over the years, Alice Taylor has written down many of these moments of contemplation so she can revisit them over and over again, and now she is sharing them with her dear readers. In these ‘moments out of time’, she might remember a person or words from the past, or capture in a poem or prose a special moment or feeling from that day. Some of these ‘moments out of time’ happened recently; others maybe fifty years ago. Some strike in the unlikeliest of settings. Once, Alice was on the sidelines of a match, yelling her support, when the sight of a ploughed field stopped her in her tracks. Back home, she wrote a poem to express what it meant to her, going beyond the moment to explore the mystery of regrowth and the generosity of nature.In this lovely and thoughtful book, Alice invites the reader to share these snippets, these little moments and experiences, in their own time and in their own way.

The Meaning of Life 
Alice Taylor lives in the village of Innishannon in County Cork, in a house attached to the local supermarket and post office. Her first book, To School Through the Fields, was published in 1988. It was an immediate success and quickly became the biggest selling book ever published in Ireland.



Alice has written nearly twenty books since then, largely exploring her beloved village and the ways of life in rural Ireland. She has also written poetry and fiction: her first novel, The Woman of the House, was an immediate bestseller. Most recently, she wrote a children's picture book with her daughter Lena Angland, called Ellie and the Fairy Door.
