The book lacked so much... character development, story development, descriptive words and sentences were totally lost on the this author. I MADE myself finish but it was mundane and predictable at best.

Story
Transported from the mid-twentieth century to New York City in the year 1882, Si Morley walks the fashionable "Ladies' Mile" of Broadway, is enchanted by the jingling sleigh bells in Central Park, and solves a 20th-century mystery by discovering its 19th-century roots. Falling in love with a beautiful young woman, he ultimately finds himself forced to choose between his lives in the present and the past. A story that will remain in the listener's memory, Time and Again is a remarkable blending of the troubled present and a nostalgic past....

Why would Stephen King recommend this book???
Reviewed: 08-30-18
Struggled to finish and then totally disappointed at the terrible ending. The narrator is a yawn-fest, nice voice, terrible narrator. I love time travel books and had just finished King's 11.22.63 which I enjoyed. At then end King gives an Academy Award type speech in which he thanks everyone except his long lost cousin. His last thanks and admiration goes to Jack Finney for his "wonderful work, Time and Again"... all I can say is he must have been hung over! It's a complete waste of a credit.

I almost returned this book thinking it was too juvenile. It took me about 4 chapters in to settle in and enjoy the ride.
I'm so glad I stuck with it. The story is both delightful and intriguing. Full of surprises.

Story
Jane’s days at a Midwest insurance company are perfectly ordinary. She blends in well, unremarkably pretty in her floral-print dresses and extra efficient at her low-level job. She’s just the kind of woman middle manager Steven Hepsworth likes - meek, insecure, and willing to defer to a man. No one has any idea who Jane really is. Least of all Steven. But plain Jane is hiding something. And Steven’s bringing out the worst in her.

No thriller... just smutty, trashy narrative.

The only reason I gave it two stars is because I made it all the way to the end just to see how Jane gets her revenge. Really mindless trash is all I can say for it.

Loved it, a little slow at times but because I am invested in the series and the lives of the colorful characters it was not difficult to remain interested.
The narrator is fabulous!
Some have complained about the use of Christian values being mentioned but to me it is no different than a book based on a family in India using Hindu references. It is part of the cultural setting.

not my favorite Maisie Dobbs mystery. Too many things going on with too many names to remember. I was looking forward to exploring Maurice's home and this volume but it was not to be. I'm still Maisie Dobbs fan and will continue to read her Adventures.
