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 turn-of-the-century 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 self-hypnosis, 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.

      Narrator Scott Brick dives into the role of first-person narrator Richard Collier, a television writer dying of a brain tumor who either travels back from 1971 to 1896 to initiate a time-crossed romance or constructs an elaborate and pathetic delusion sparked by his illness. Listeners may be more familiar with the sumptuously romantic 1981 film of the same name, starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour; however, what seems like fairy-tale destiny in the adaptation seems more like demented compulsion mixed with wish-fulfillment fantasy in the far more slowly paced original. Brick is so convincing as Richard that listeners may feel claustrophobic spending all those hours trapped in the character's obsessive psyche. A.B.G. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
