Publisher Description

Finally on audio — 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-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 nineteenth-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.

"This book is just fun. And if you are a New Yorker, it's ridiculous fun. A man travels back in time to live in 1886 New York City. The time travel is done in a rather believable way and his experiences back in time are completely fun, interesting and compelling. Can't recommend it enough. "

Quotes

  • “A most ingenious confection of time now and time then…You go back to a wonderful world and have a wonderful time doing it.” 

    — New York Times
  • “Mind-boggling, imagination-stretching, exciting, romantic entertainment.”

    — San Francisco Examiner
  • “Highly original…written with style and elegance…[a] bold, visionary novel.” 

    — Barnes&Noble.com
  • “The mystery is intriguing and the romantic development heart-wrenching, but for me the book is all about the dozens of Gilded Age illustrations and the author’s captivating descriptions of a gas lit, cobblestoned New York City without automobiles or skyscrapers. Finney…is a master at drawing the reader into a bygone time and place. A friend of mine who is both a native New Yorker and devotee of the book recommends reading and rereading it with city map in hand. It’s pure descriptive nostalgia.”
