I have to wonder if it’s because this was the only place where women saw anything new.
There’s the scene on the Ladies’ Mile in which women are crowding the shop windows, and Simon doesn’t understand the excitement of why. Hmmm, I wonder if it’s because we have all this technology?
The people of 1882, however, took an interest in what was around them. We’re too absorbed in our own worries, our technology - we’re jaded. We don’t appreciate the world around us these days. I also loved (and hated) Finney’s note on how the people of 1882 New York City were so much more alive. I found this fascinating - I am a history buff *grin*. I suspect the primary interest for most readers would be for the history and the anthropological aspects of going back in time to 1882 in New York City. It is an intriguing idea for how to time travel. It may be what people do in the real world, leave everything so vague, but it doesn’t do in the reader’s world. Most of what Danziger says doesn’t apply to what Simon is doing, nor does it follow with what Ruben and company ask Simon to do much later. Even when Danziger is explaining what they’re doing, it doesn’t make any sense. I couldn’t find a purpose behind what Rube was having Simon do, even when they explained what they and the others were doing. I have to confess that I almost put it down a good chunk into the book. This is one of those stories in which you need to plough through the beginning as it took awhile before it got interesting. Time and Again won the 1994 Grand Prix de l’Imaginaire. Explore it on Goodreads or Amazonįirst in the Time science fiction mystery series revolving around a unique form of time travel. Mystery, science fiction in a paperback edition that was published by Orion Books on and has 399 pages. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from the library in exchange for an honest review.
