Synopsis

Written by one of the grand masters of modern fantasy, Somewhere in Time is the moving, romantic story of a modern man whose powerful love for a woman he has never met allows him to literally transcend time. A dying young playwright staying in a turnofthecentury hotel becomes captivated by a painting of a beautiful stage actress from the previous century. Obsessed, he begins to study everything he can about the woman and her time and becomes convinced he belongs with her. Through selfhypnosis, he transports himself to 1896, where he finds the soul mate he was fated to meet. But will he be able to stay? Somewhere in Time won the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel and was the basis for the 1980 cult classic movie starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.

Q: What you believe becomes your world. (c) Q: I will try to be consistent, no longer oscillating like some planet that has lost its way. For, at long last, I have found my sun. (c) OMG.

Goodreads review by Bradley on November 17, 2019

The book starts out rather rough and the time-travel aspect is half-laughable and absolutely necessary for the ambiguity inherent in the novel, but DAMN... THIS IS ONE HELL OF HEA ROMANCE. Love and first sight, straining against social customs, heaving bosoms, torn hearts.... Sigh. I admit I kinda fell......more

So far this is my least favorite. The main character really seemed like a stalker to me in the beginning of the book and the en......more

Goodreads review by Heather on July 30, 2008

All I can say is, it is completely obvious that this book was written by a man. He spends a tedious amount of time trying to explain away his time travel premise and forgets to explain the most obvious part of his book: how could a supposedly intelligent woman fall in love with his wacko main charac......more
