Jake Epping, a high school English teacher from Lisbon Falls, Maine, in 2011 embarks on a fascinating journey back to 1958 - from a world of cell phones and iPods to a new world of Elvis and JFK, Plymouth Fury cars and Lindy Hopping, a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald, and a beautiful high school librarian named Sadie Dunhill, who becomes the love of Jake's life - a life that defies all rules of time.
Stephen King combines the social, political, and popular culture of his baby-boom American period into a devastating exercise in mounting suspense with astonishing imaginative power.
King's mastery of plot and his ability to create characters and situations both homespun and far-fetched means that this is the book you dream of getting stuck on the train home with.
