Time After Time

Books

On a foggy morning in 1937, Joe Reynolds, a practical worker at Grand Central Terminal, meets a mysterious woman named Nora Lansing who is wearing an outdated silk dress and carrying an old-fashioned suitcase. As they fall deeply in love, Joe discovers a baffling truth: Nora only appears when the Manhattan fog rolls in, seemingly anchored to the station and frozen in time while the world around Joe moves forward. Spanning two decades of New York history, the story follows their impossible romance as Joe tries to solve the mystery of Nora's existence and find a way to keep her in his present. It is a lush, magical-realist tale about the persistence of love and the haunting beauty of a city in flux.
