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....

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

Publisher's Summary

The long-awaited sequel to Time and Again . Si Morley is back and the world may never be the same.

When Time and Again was published in 1970, it immediately developed a loyal following that has grown with each passing year. With this book, Jack Finney returned to the same magical territory and finds Ruben Prien still at work with the Project, still dreaming of altering man's fate by going back in time to adjust events... to interfere, some might say, with destiny.

Once again, the conduit to that bygone era is Simon Morley, the man who actually proved himself capable of traveling back and forth in time. This time, he does so with a grand purpose: an attempt to prevent World War I.

From Time to Time is a tale that is both thrilling and nostalgic, magical and terrifying, charming and full of suspense.
Listen to the first book, Time and Again.
©1995 Jack Finney (P)2011 Simon & Schuster

The Fate of a Sequel

Ever have the feeling when reading a book that you must have skipped a page (or two, or three… or ten) because the story suddenly makes NO SENSE?

This is the sensation I had throughout most of this book. I can’t tell you with any certainty if it’s the story jumping around or if it’s my attention fading in and out but I was clearly not as riveted to this book as I was to Book 1! ("Time and Again" - Excellent!!) I think I missed a few crucial threads early on.

It’s the fate of a sequel I guess; the better the predecessor, the higher the standards for the following instalments.

Love the performer but...

the story is a bit long-winded in places and not as intriguing and exciting as the first. Seems there were some holes in the story or I missed something.

Needs more plot

I lived Time and Again for its vivid description of New York AND its application to the plot and suspense of the story. Time to Time starts with promise but I found myself bogged down for a large part of the story. The description of 1911 New York was great but, since it didn't develop the plot as well I got bored at times. Nice to revisit Sy and see where he settled.

It's ok, but not earth-moving...

I really liked the first book, although found the premise of how they shift from one time to another to be too simplistic. This time he barely has to try, and he is all over the place. But aside from that, the first story ended so well, and they had to undo that to tell this story, and maybe that is where it fell down.
I'm not returning it, but don't need to hear it again. Hope this helps you decide.

Second Time Around

I read these books many years ago and was pleased to see Audible had made them available. Enjoyed them both for the second time.

Fascinating

Loved this story as much as the first book. It's fascinating to think about time travel and the 'what ifs' about outcomes if surrounding events were altered. Loved the way the story unfolded. Excellent!

Just OK

The author’s extremely long and unnecessary descriptions of events, for example the section on vaudeville, slowed the pace of the book to the total detriment of the plot. I wanted to quit the whole thing at several points in the book but stuck with it and in the end I don’t think it was worth it. 3 stars because it was an audiobook and I listened in the car. Narrator was good

Simon Morley makes me so irritated!

I got more and more irritated hearing about Si living a luxury life for something like a year, kissing another girl passionately and touristing, while his wife and son is left at home, with almost no money. Otherwise I loved the descriptions of the times and places just as much as in the first book!
