 "We are trained to perceive the surrounding world as
three-dimensional. The fourth dimension is not a trick. In the same way
that we don’t notice the air we are breathing, we do not notice a lot
of things that are around us. One of them is time. We do live in four-
(or even more) dimensional reality. Usually we just don’t pay attention
to this. The first step to broadening our vision is to learn and to
develop features that allow us to experience the world as
four-dimensional."

 John Sanbrook's debut work is a fascinating biography of the lives and times of his parents, Jack and Elizabeth Sanbrook. "It all began at the turn of the twentieth century. Times were hard in the United Kingdom."
John "Jack" William Sanbrook was born in March of 1907; his father deserted wife and son soon after. Young Jack had a thirst for knowledge, but poverty denied him his education and class discrimination severely limited his prospects. In 1929, fate lent a hand; the Shanghai Municipal Police Force needed officers and Jack answered the call. He would discover a true love of justice and the law in a land filled with beauty, danger, and luxuries he could never have enjoyed in his native England. In time, Elizabeth would become his wife and they would begin their family. In 1942, with the Japanese occupation of the International Settlement in Shanghai, the Sanbrooks’ idyllic life came to a close. "The family had been caught up like rats in a trap. Their lives were now in hostile hands."
From the early years of Jack's work with the Shanghai Municipal Police, through the family's World War II years in the concentration camp, later work for the War Crimes Commission in the jungles of Borneo, and the Sanbrooks’ eventual emigration to America, In My Father's Time opens a window on the dramatic changes that made the world we see today.
As the voices from that era fall silent one by one, this book is a welcome and valuable record of a vanished world. "It is my parent's story. One that I felt needed to be told."
This reader would agree.
Review written by DJ Nold, the former Copy Editor of The Business Journal of Yuba and Sutter Counties, and author of two published fantasy-adventure novels, Raven's Fate and True Companions .
