Time After Time
The more things change, the more they stay the same.No matter what life throws at you, or how much the world changes, human nature has been remarkably consistent throughout the centuries. Driven by love, hate, greed, envy, and, sometimes, completely unfathomable motives, people can surprise you, appall you, and inspire you. That's why historical mysteries are so popular. You can indulge your curiosity about human nature while still escaping the reality of modern life.
Time After Time takes you back to 16th Century France, a remote deserted island in the 1800’s, the Civil War, Victorian England, the nursing tents of World War I, childhood in the 1930s, the World War II era and onward to the1950s as well as the turbulent Vietnam era.
