Book Review: A haunting and heartbreaking blend of romance and sci-fi.
Summary: 5 Stars
Imagine a perfectly haunting and heartbreaking blend of time travel and timeless romance. This is what you will have the pleasure of reading if you chance a copy of Bid Time Return" by Richard Matheson. This book later released in hardback as "Somewhere In Time" is exquisetly crafted and unique both as science fiction and as a genuine and tragic romance. A dying playright sets out to spend the last of his days on the road. A Chance flip of a coin leads him to a hotel where
in the lobby he falls painfully in love with a picture of a beautiful actress who had performed there nearly a century earlier. His love for her growing inexplicably stronger eventually becomes obsession and through a series of subtle and haunting events he crosses the boundary of time itself to meet her and fall deeply in love. Do not expect a trite or trivial love story nor the use of the conventional time travel formula. This book takes a unique approach at the concept of time travel and love offering the idea that physically spanning time is not someting to be achieved through the use of advanced technology or the power of superior races. Rather that the strengh of the mind coupled with the power of true love can span any boundry including time itself to be connsumated. Written in first person perspective "Bid Time Return" will leave the reader with a lingering sense of wonder and sadness. Like waking from a dream of beauty and bliss or watching the last days of summer drift away. The reader will feel a sense of longing for the love they never had for years to come.
