Bid Time Return

I was really hesitant about this book. I wasn't up for a romance. I never saw the film but I knew it had to do with time travel. But I read it because it won the 1976 World Fantasy Award, so it was on my reading challenge. Turns out I loved it. It's an amazing book about obsession and desperation. The obsessive quality of the romance on the part of the main character, Richard Collier, made it a page turner. And, as in his books I Am Legend and The Shrinking Man, the prose is simply phenomenal.
