Time and Chance

A classic novel from the bestselling author of Molokai and Honolulu. Before Alan Brennert became a bestselling author of historical novels he wrote this lyrical fantasy in the vein of The Time Travelers Wife. Part love story part deeply affecting character study it is a literary tour de force chronicling the parallel lives of two men who were once the same man--until as the poet Robert Frost wrote Two roads diverged in a yellow wood/And sorry I could not travel both/And be one traveler.... Thirteen years ago Richard Cochrane left his small New England town to pursue his dreams of an acting career. But on some other level of reality there is also a Rick Cochrane who chose instead to set aside his dreams marry the woman he loved and raise a family. Today neither man is happy with the choice he made--but as their lives once separated by time and chance now draw closer together Richard and Rick are offered another a last chance to discover the road not taken.. Time and Chance displays the same vivid sense of time and place--and the vibrant memorable characters drawn with compassion warmth and humor--that have made the authors historical novels national bestsellers and reading group favorites.
