Description
If you could go back in time, what would you do differently?
For Eliott, there is no question. To all appearances, his life has been a success. At 60, he is an esteemed surgeon with a daughter he adores. The only thing missing is Ilena - a girl who died thirty years ago.
But then he is given an extraordinary opportunity to revisit his past: to go back to San Francisco, when the seventies were in full swing, and find the passionate young doctor who has yet to lose the love of his life.
Intelligence, heart and a great story: a million copies have been sold in Europe and anyone who loved Back to the Future or The Time Traveller's Wife will love this.
