Time and Time Again

I’ve always loved time travel stories but did find this one quite unique as to its construct, and some interesting twists like the unexpected happening about 30% of the way through during the train journey. The philosophical takeaway is that altering something in the past does not mean history just happens in a similar way. Lots of other variables change. Even just buying a flower on the street can introduce a small tweak that changes things.

Excellent novel. As it went on I started to guess where it was going but it still managed to pull off surprises. Interesting use of the time travel concept and very good play on reader perceptions. Would make a fine film or TV mini series.
