It is the story of an English diplomat that moves between the past and present. The main character is likable and develops well. The other characters; girlfriend, father, mother, wife, and son are not fully developed though they all add to the development of the main character. It is a glimpse of life in England and the changes that feel bewildering to a caught in the middle generation.

Autorenporträt
James Hilton (1900-1954) was a prominent English novelist and Hollywood screenwriter who left a significant mark on the literary world with his thought-provoking and evocative fiction. Though 'Time and Time Again' stands as a testament to his storytelling prowess, Hilton's legacy is also cemented by his other renowned works, including the classic novels 'Lost Horizon' (1933), where he introduced readers to the legendary Shangri-La, and 'Goodbye, Mr. Chips' (1934), which delves into the life of a beloved schoolteacher. The thematic depth of Hilton's works often revolves around the elements of nostalgia, humanism, and the exploration of utopian ideals, resonating with readers seeking solace and reflection amidst turbulent times. His literary style is characterized by its gentle narrative flow and philosophical undertones, which have enabled his stories to transcend the period of their creation, remaining relevant and cherished in contemporary discourse. Beyond his novels, Hilton's skill as a screenwriter earned him an Academy Award for his work on the film 'Mrs. Miniver' (1942), demonstrating the versatility of his creative gifts. His contributions to literature and film have secured him a lasting place in the pantheon of twentieth-century British writers.
