Best known for his time travel novel , as well as his oft-adapted , Jack Finney was a master of nostalgia-flavored tales romanticizing the past. These elements are here in this novel as well, in which Ben Bennell’s utopian alternate world is one more relaxed and respecting of its heritage than its fast-paced real-world contemporary. This is also a novel more comic than most of his other works, with a tongue-in-cheek approach best demonstrated by his main protagonist’s series of creatively madcap schemes to win Hettie back. At times the novel can border on the ridiculous, but it is never less than entertaining and offers a lighthearted look at how the grass always seems greener on the other side of the fence, even when one can cross from one side to the other.
