A classic novel from the bestselling author ofMoloka'i andHonolulu Before Alan Brennert became a bestselling author of historical novels, he wrote this lyrical fantasy in the vein ofThe Time Traveler's Wife.Part love story, part deeply affecting character study, it is a literary tour de force chronicling the parallel lives of two men who were once the same man--until, as the poet Robert Frost wrote, "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood/And sorry I could not travel both/And be one traveler..." Thirteen years ago, Richard Cochrane left his small New England town to pursue his dreams of an acting career. But on some other level of reality there is also a Rick Cochrane, who chose instead to set aside his dreams, marry the woman he loved, and raise a family. Today, neither man is happy with the choice he made--but as their lives, once separated by time and chance, now draw closer together, Richard and Rick are offered another a last chance to discover "the road not taken." Time and Chancedisplays the same vivid sense of time and place--and the vibrant, memorable characters drawn with compassion, warmth, and humor--that have made the author's historical novels national bestsellers and reading group favorites.… (más)

I expect to enjoy this even more than I did Moloka'i.

-------------finally read it.

In one day. It is that good. Of course it's more like Time and Again or even The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde than it is like The Time Traveler's Wife, but I'll agree with the marketing in that the atmosphere is more subtle than the first two, more like the third.

And it's definitely not historical fiction, like Brennert's Hawai'i novels. It's more like literary SF, like Martian Chronicles or The Man Who Fell to Earth. Sort of.

But anyway, never mind comparisons. Read it because it's a good story, written thoughtfully & beautifully & dramatically & simply. I have one more by the author on my owned shelves and I do look forward to it.

-------------years (and hundreds of books) later, I still remember this quite well. And yet I wouldn't mind rereading it. I thoroughly enjoy Brennert's works and wish that, somehow, he'd manage to write a few more books: novels or short stories, SFF or HF or GF, doesn't matter.... ( )

Totally fascinating novel about an actor who discovers he has an other self living a different life in the small town where he grew up. Richard and Rick change places and live the lives they regret not having. I couldn't put it down. Read it in two sittings. Not for everyone, but I enjoyed it. Brennert also wrote MOLOKA'I and HONOLULU. ( )
