About This Book

The story follows a young man raised by an old-fashioned grandmother whose longing for a gentler era becomes an obsession. Unable to fit into contemporary social life, he studies the nature of time and builds a device that sends him back to the 1890s, where he adopts period manners and routines and quickly becomes embraced by a small town. The narrative examines nostalgia, the yearning for vanished social codes, and the lengths personal longing can drive technical ingenuity and life-altering choices.
