What if you could re-live your life again... and again? A superb novel of life, love and second chances - and what it means to risk everything.

At forty-three Jeff Winston is tired of his low-paid, unrewarding job, tired of the long silences at the breakfast table with his wife, saddened by the thought of no children to comfort his old age. But he hopes for better things, for happiness, maybe tomorrow ...

But a sudden, fatal heart attack puts paid to that. Until Jeff wakes up in his eighteen-year-old body, all his memories of the next twenty-five years intact. If he applies those memories, he can be rich in this new chance at life and can become one of the most powerful men in America.

Until he dies at forty-three and wakes up in his eighteen-year-old body again ... and again in a continuous twenty-five year cycle each time starting from scratch at the age of eighteen to reclaim lost loves, make a fortune - or remedy past mistakes.

A novel of gripping adventure, romance, and fascinating speculation on the nature of time, Replay asks the question: "What if you could live your life over again?"

Industry Reviews
In 1986 (seven years before the release of the film Groundhog Day), Grimwood published this riveting novel about a man who dies of a heart attack and then wakes up in his college dorm room 25 years earlier. He discovers that he has the chance to live his life over again. And again. And again. This is one of the most elegant and moving time travels stories ever written. A thrilling adventure that also explores the nature of destiny and the human experience

The story and the writing are terrific and the end is ... thoroughly satisfying - Bari Wood

There's not a false or melodramatic note in the whole thing ... It's a fantasy using the reality of our lives ... A pleasure to read ... Fresh - Baird Searles

Highly successful ... the plot gradually and intricately thickens ... the heart of the tale is the swift sophistication of its unpacking of the great dream - The Encyclopedia of Fantasy
