What is the Time-Capsule in the novel, This Must Be the Place?

The Time Capsule is a small vestibule-like addition to the Donegal house where Daniel and Claudette live. It is notable for the wood-burning stove it features, and because it is the one part of the house that Claudette has never changed. In this way, the Time Capsule is reflective of Claudette’s heart which, despite the changes in her life, remains the same beautiful heart it always was.
