One of the most beloved tales of our time!

Science fiction, mystery, a passionate love story, and a detailed history of Old New York blend together in Jack Finney's spellbinding story of a young man enlisted in a secret Government experiment.

Transported from the mid-20th 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, made vivid and extraordinarily moving by the images of a time that was... and perhaps still is.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I, too, found this book through Stephen King's recommendation in 11-22-63. I also noted that Jack Finney was a master of sci-fi

What did you like best about this story?

I enjoyed the historical glimpses of the 1880's

Which character – as performed by Paul Hecht – was your favorite?

Julie

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not really - but I looked forward to listening to it.

Any additional comments?

This book was written a long time ago about a time even longer ago...writing has evolved as we have evolved...so don't expect an action packed book. Look for a slow read that takes you to a different time and place...it's an easy and enjoyable read.

A book from the past about the past

Great book, loved it! It all seemed so vivid; like I stepped into a painting!

(Perhaps it’s because I got back from New York City just yesterday and it’s still fresh in my mind that I was able to visualise the story so well!)

Finney takes his time “painting” scenes and doesn’t rush so don’t read it if you’re in a hurry – I wasn’t and just loved it! I plan to dive into Book 2 right away.

Loved It!

Would you listen to Time and Again again? Why?

I got this for a driving trip and forgot to put it on my IPOD. Instead, I read it later on Kindle. Very good book. A little slow at the start, but it picks up, and the end is satisfying. Great history lesson about NYC.

I read this on kindle.

The details of 19th century New York can be, at times, a bit overwhelming to listen through.

I have to say, in the end, the vivid descriptions, and the relationships, make complete sense and are a compelling listen.

I will be listening to the sequel; I’m looking forward to it.

Worth making it to the end
