Jack Finney is the grand master of time travel stories. This book and the sequel (From Time to Time) are both tours de force of the time-travel genre. In "Time and Again," Finney carries us to the New York of 1882 with convincing authority. Simon Morley, the hero, and Julia Charbonneau, the girl he meets in old New York, are vividly drawn. The twists of the story and the memorable characters keep the reader's attention and make for some unanticipated outcomes.

"Time and Again" is every bit as good as Richard Matheson's "Somewhere in Time." Highly recommended.
