The author of Einstein's Dreams tenderly traces the thirty-year-old love affair between Charles, now a fifty-two-year-old professor, as a twenty-two-year-old student, with a beautiful young dancer, set against the turbulent social and political upheaval of the 1960s. 60,000 first printing.

Alan Lightman was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and educated at Princeton and the California Institute of Technology. His previous books include three novels, Einstein’s Dreams, Good Benito, and The Diagnosis; a collection of essays and fables, Dance for Two; and several books on science. He lives in Massachusetts.
w York Times has called Alan Lightman highly original and imaginative. Each of his novels is a new exploration of that imagination, utterly unlike the others. Einstein s Dreams, an international best-seller, was a whimsical and provocative tone poem about time. The Diagnosis, hailed by the Washington Post as a major accomplishment and a finalist for the National Book Award, was a disturbing examination of our obsession with speed, information, and money, and the resulting poverty of our spiritual lives. Lightman s new novel, Reunion, is a delicate and haunting story of how we shape our identity through memory.
Charles is a middle-aged professor at a minor liberal-arts college, a once promising poet, admiring of passion but without passion himself. Without knowing why, he decides to attend his thirtieth college reunion. And there, he magically witnesses a replay of his senior year.
