Time Bomb is a novel by British author Nigel Hinton which was first published in 2005. It is set in 1949 and tells the story of four boys who found an un exploded bomb where they played.[1]
Concept
[edit]The concept came to the author whilst he was waiting at traffic lights in his car. He thought of the phrase 'I've never told this story to anyone because when I was twelve I swore on an oath in blood that I would never tell it.'[2] It is also based on his childhood in the post war years.
Reception
[edit]Inis Magazine praised the narrative around the lives of the youngsters and the glimpses into their fears and their emotions.[3]
