First, the description of this book that I see for the Kindle edition is wrong. It describes another entirely different novel by Ben Elton. The novel by James Hilton tells the story of the life of a fictional English diplomat, Charles Anderson, born in 1900. The only time travel involved is memory. The story is told in a present narrative, giving way to four flashbacks. Hilton's treatment of memory in this book is not quite as engaging as he treatment in [b:Goodbye Mr. Chips 2141948 Goodbye Mr. Chips James Hilton https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348024958l/2141948.SY75.jpg 2147442], but there is a lot more action in a more complicated world.An engaging read. It had to be. The Kindle edition I read had hundreds of typographical errors. Most were capitalization errors. Lots of sentences without capitalization. Lots of words with a terminal “i” capitalized (e.g., “taxI”). Accented characters in foreign word replaced by blanks. Very aggravating.
