Description



About the Book



The winner of the 1976 World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, and the basis for the beloved 1979 movie version starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, Matheson's story of a love that transcends time and space is back in print.



Book Synopsis



Like What Dreams May Come, which inspired the movie starring Robin Williams, Somewhere in Time is the powerful story of a love that transcends time and space, written by one of the Grand Masters of modern fantasy.

Matheson's classic novel tells the moving, romantic story of a modern man whose love for a woman he has never met draws him back in time to a luxury hotel in San Diego in 1896, where he finds his soul mate in the form of a celebrated actress of the previous century. Somewhere in Time won the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, and the 1979 movie version, starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, remains a cult classic.

A love so strong it transcends time!

I have read a few of Richard Matheson's books about time travel but Somewhere in Time, originally Bid Time Return, is by far his best, in my opinion. In the last sixty years I have read hundreds of books, many dealing with the devoted love of one to another, but Somewhere in Time expresses Richard's love for Elise better than any I have ever read. It's almost too flowery but I am guessing for Nov. 19th 1896 it was just right. The 1980 movie by the same name, starring Christopher Reeve (Superman) and Jane Seymour, is truly amazing as is the music throughout the movie. All too often the book is not as good as the movie or vice versa but in this case they are both top of the line. I saw the movie long ago and I am so glad I finally got to read the book. Please take the time to read the book and see the movie; you'll be glad you did.
