Product Description
Remember the eighties? The batwing jumpers, the puffball skirts, the dragged-through-a hedge-backwards hair? Cass Thomson does - from the heavy eyeliner to the hits of Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran, it all feels like yesterday...Cass is intrigued and a little frightened by the invitation asking her to a school reunion. If she goes, there's the possibility that she'll meet Gideon Harker, the boy Cass adored from the age of thirteen with the desperate intensity of first love. From his bleach-blond hair to his punk boots, Gideon was her ideal man, and she's never met anyone to match him, not even now that she's running a minor stately home and perfectly content with her sports journalist boyfriend, Greg. It's dangerous to go back and see what might have been: what if Gideon is no longer the romantic, soul-searching, green-eyed charmer she remembers, but a balding, beer-bellied, nine-to-fiver? But Cass just can't help herself...

5.0 out of 5 stars Sue Does It Again ... with Time After Time, 8 Aug 2002
After the superb 'Two's Company' I was eager to read Sue Haasler's next book, but also apprehensive... Would this, could this book be the same excellent standard?

I needn't have worried! From the first page I was gripped by the plot and drawn in by the compelling cast of characters. The evocative past of our heroine's time at school is as beautifully depicted as her current life. And - oh! - how I lived that school reunion with the heroine; wondering, hoping, worrying that Gabriel/Gideon would turn up.

Can first love ever survive? Or be reciprocated?

In this jewel of a novel, Sue keeps us wondering all the way to the deeply satisfying conclusion.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful read!, 24 Feb 2003
By M. Wheeler (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I could read Time After Time again and again! It more than lived up to expectations following her delightful first book, Two's Company. Time After Time is warm and witty, filled with nostalgia, and brought back so many memories of school and old friendships. I am sure there is something of Cass, and her friends, in us all. Beautifully written, funny, full of charm and romance, I thoroughly recommend this to anyone. A must read book and perfect for curling up with on an indulgent night in! More please, Ms Haasler.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's like being there!, 11 Aug 2004
By A Customer
"Time After Time" is a novel for anyone who has ever stared at themselves in the mirror fretting about a wasted opportunity to say this or that in a particular situation, annoyed that one did not have that pithy comeback ready when it really mattered. It's for anyone who can relate to the desire to go back and do everything all over again. In her time-slip novel Ms Haasler takes the reader back to the 1980s so convincingly that it's like being there in person. Close your eyes and dance to Cyndi Lauper, The Clash and Eurythmics, let your fingers catch in back-combed hair, cringe with embarrassment over the ra-ra skirts and the batwing jumpers, sympathize with the uncertain youngsters behind the fashionably sullen faces and the panda makeup.

But "Time After Time" is more than a sensual journey back in time, it's a novel about timeless and universal issues. That first love, always special and the epitome of the naïve ideas one has about life. The disappointment which follows on discovering that life is more complicated than one imagined. The clarity which grows with age. The fantasy of what it would be like if one had the opportunity to solve the problems of one's youth with the knowledge and experience one has since acquired.

A modest and realistic story with genuine depth of emotion, "Time After Time" is romantic comedy at its best.

5.0 out of 5 stars I have read this book a minimum of 15 times since buying it
I didn't grow up in the 80s, but I do obsess over them- especially musically, and especially those slabs of noise. I loved this book, and I never ever read romantic comedies. Read more
