Reseña del editor:

The author of Einstein's Dreams tenderly traces the thirty-year-old love affair between Charles, now a fifty-two-year-old professor, as a twenty-two-year-old student, with a beautiful young dancer, set against the turbulent social and political upheaval of the 1960s. 60,000 first printing.

Nota de la solapa:

w York Times has called Alan Lightman “highly original and imaginative.” Each of his novels is a new exploration of that imagination, utterly unlike the others. Einstein’s Dreams, an international best-seller, was a whimsical and provocative tone poem about time. The Diagnosis, hailed by the Washington Post as a “major accomplishment” and a finalist for the National Book Award, was a disturbing examination of our obsession with speed, information, and money, and the resulting poverty of our spiritual lives. Lightman’s new novel, Reunion, is a delicate and haunting story of how we shape our identity through memory.

Charles is a middle-aged professor at a minor liberal-arts college, a once promising poet, admiring of passion but without passion himself. Without knowing why, he decides to attend his thirtieth college reunion. And there, he magically witnesses a replay of his senior year.
