'A Year in Time'. Published by Heinemann, 1964.

The Scotsman Edinburgh, 22nd August 1964 writes.

"The central problems of this novel are the central problems of our time, loneliness, attempts at communication, a search for personal identity. True to the novelelist's art, Yvonne Mitchell does not attempt to find universal or general answers, but explores the life of a young girl, feeling her essentially lonely way in a world not hostile but almost completely indifferent".
