Time After Time by Lisa Grunwald

Time After Time by Lisa Grunwald

A magical love story, inspired by the legend of a woman who vanished from Grand Central Terminal, sweeps readers from the 1920s to World War II and beyond. Readers who enjoyed The Time Traveler's Wife will be enchanted.--Publishers Weekly
I utterly loved this clever, charming, hopeful tale of true love against all odds.--Ariel Lawhon, New York Times bestselling author of I Was Anastasia

On a clear December morning in 1937, at the famous gold clock in Grand Central Terminal, Joe Reynolds, a hardworking railroad man from Queens, meets a vibrant young woman who seems mysteriously out of place. Nora Lansing is a Manhattan socialite whose flapper clothing, pearl earrings, and talk of the Roaring Twenties don't seem to match the bleak mood of Depression-era New York. Captivated by Nora from her first electric touch, Joe despairs when he tries to walk her home and she disappears. Finding her again--and again--will become the focus of his love and his life.

Nora, a fiercely independent aspiring artist, is shocked to find she's somehow been trapped, her presence in the terminal governed by rules she cannot fathom. It isn't until she meets Joe that she begins to understand the effect that time is having on her, and the possible connections to the workings of Grand Central and the solar phenomenon known as Manhattanhenge, when the sun rises or sets between the city's skyscrapers, aligned perfectly with the streets below.

As thousands of visitors pass under the famous celestial blue ceiling each day, Joe and Nora create a life unlike any they could have imagined. With infinite love in a finite space, they take full advantage of the Terminal City within a city, dining at the Oyster Bar, visiting the Whispering Gallery, and making a home at the Biltmore Hotel. But when the construction of another landmark threatens their future, Nora and Joe are forced to test the limits of freedom and love.

Delving into Grand Central Terminal's rich past, Lisa Grunwald crafts a masterful historical novel about a love affair that defies age, class, place, and even time.

The novels Whatever Makes You Happy, New Year's Eve, The Theory of Everything, and Summer are written by Lisa Grunwald. Stephen J. Smith, a journalist, is her husband. She was the editor of the bestselling anthologies Women's Letters and Letters of the Century, both edited by Adler. Grunwald has previously worked as a contributing editor for Life and as a features editor for Esquire. She and Adler have two children and live in New York City.
