What this book is about
SI Morley is recruited by a secret government project to travel back in time to 1882 New York using only an act of sustained imagination. There, he falls in love with a woman and with the city itself — but he's also been sent to observe a letter that set off a chain of events with modern consequences. Illustrated with period photographs and drawings, this is a love letter to New York and to the idea that the past is still present, waiting for us.
