When the Chicago City Council goes on strike and good things happen all around the city, love is the last thing on the cynical minds of Robert Grabowski and Elise Callahan. Because of a recent merger, Robert is worried about his job. In a few weeks, Elise is due to return to expat life in Paris. One sunny morning Robert and Elise meet in front of their favorite pastry shop, which has suddenly closed. The two thirtysomethings have an argument and would like to leave it at that. But thanks to the smooth-running city, fate has other things in store for them. Add a politically-corrupt father with a cushy city job who might be under investigation by the Feds, throw in a mysterious woman with a beautiful voice who is often heard singing throughout the neighborhood, and you have an offbeat and humorous take on love in the city, and it all happens on Chicago Time.

Chicago Time... A very sweet love story
28. April 2012

Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book captured me right from the start... Not only because of how much I liked the characters, but as a native Chicagoan, I enjoyed so much the mention of streets and places I know. Elise and Robert are very human and likable and I found myself almost cheering for them. Give us more Richard Hellinga... Perhaps what happens next to Elise and Robert?

Chicago Time is a love letter to a city through an love story.
13. Mai 2012
Von Grace

Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Chicago Time is a love letter to a city through an love story. The story follows a budding relationship under less than desirable circumstances. As the characters struggle to figure out their feelings for each other, they also struggle to understand the places where they live (and want to live) and their places in the world. Hellinga presents his characters--including the city of Chicago--with all their flaws, hang-ups, and weaknesses and his story is richer for it. The result is a story that perhaps anyone can relate to; a story that honestly claims that sometimes the things you love most about people can also be the things that drive you crazy - lovers, friends, family, and cities included.
Chicago Times is a quick, straight forward read that leaves you feeling good about the world, without being saccharine sweet or naïve. Highly recommended to anyone looking for: a quick read, to feel good about the world, an insider's view of Chicago, a love story that's too honest to be a romantic comedy, or just a plain old good book.
