It's called Faye, Faraway.
A woman (Faye) travels back to see her mother and is now older than her mother, but there is an instant connection between the two. Faye, the main character sees herself as a young child but also sees her mother from an adult point of view, sort of anyway, since it's hard to think of your mother in any other way than as your mother.
This one had it all with a surprise ending as well ! ! !

Impressive. This would actually be darn good for adult fans of Time Travel SF to read. And fans of Clan of the Cave Bear, for that matter. There is a clue that Mazer, she of the 'issues' novels, wrote it, in that a big concern is how a society responds to women's menstruation, esp. to ritual (or lack thereof) attached to a teen's first blood. But it's about a lot more than that.
It's even got a philosophical thing going on that has nothing to do with the multiple themes of 'civilized' vs. 'primitive' lifestyles. I particularly liked the 'eye-contact' game Zan played in the beginning in NYC. I was particularly disturbed by her mother's inattentiveness to her questions and concerns. And I think the ending, especially, would be terrific fodder for group discussions.
So, yes, I do recommend it for groups, whether of older 'tweens, of teens, or of adults."

Edit: We did read this, Feb 2022. I don't think anyone watched the movie, though.

Edit. We read this Nov./Dec. 2022. I reread it and enjoyed it just as much as the first time, and the few others who found a copy enjoyed it, too.



This is one of my all time favorite time travel books! So good!"

Landline by Rainbow Rowell was a good one.

Crying in Dreams (Adam Young Book 1) Kindle Edition
by Jerry Hart (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 53 ratings
Book 1 of 5: Adam Young
Adam Young is a guy in his mid-thirties with a dead-end job, no wife or kids. All he has are his soundtracks and his roommates. Just as he's starting to accept his lot in life, he finds a YouTube video by a woman who claims she's discovered the secret to time-travel. Adam finds the possibility too tempting to ignore, but with time-travel comes important rules ... rules he finds difficult to follow.
Has anyone read this series? It sounded intriguing.

Welcome to The Accidental Time Travelers Collective, Volume 1, featuring twelve short stories by an international group of speculative fiction authors who share a common love of time travel. Each story ventures into the realm of alternate possibilities (or impossibilities). The stories range from whimsical to technical, thrilling to uplifting. Some will make you laugh. Others will touch you in surprising ways. All offer an adventure into tantalizing futures and haunting pasts.

In the year 1996, David Singh, a time traveller from the future, coaxes a group of experts to the desolate farmstead of Blackwell's Rest in remote Australia. He achieves this by showing each recruit an object which convinces them beyond doubt to follow him.
Their mission is to construct a time machine using advanced wormhole-generating and quantum computing technology sent to them from the future. However, as the group begin their task, they learn a grim truth.
Events of the past and future are unalterable. Free will is an illusion. Travelling back in time with knowledge of one's own future, yet not being able to change anything, can pose an immeasurable psychological burden. This is a Novikov Window, the scenario of being trapped within an unalterable sequence of events, like a passive actor living in a play scripted by fate.
To avoid Novikov Windows, knowledge about the future is closely guarded, breeding suspicion and manipulation amongst the team. Some refuse to accept their lack of control and attempt to alter history. What begins as a thrilling scientific adventure takes a dark turn as the group is faced with increasingly difficult and unethical missions.
Torn apart by their moral and ideological differences, the community frays and each individual struggles to find a sense of purpose and redemption. How can they find hope in the face of impossible decisions, in a universe where there are no choices?


I have three recommendations:
The Impossible Times Trilogy by Mark Lawrence (One Word Kill, Limited Wish, Dispel Illusion)
Replay by Ken Grimwood
Fallen Dragon by Peter F Hamilton (more space opera but with time travel thrown in)

I'll add Fallen Dragon to the above list after making sure it's ok.
I'd prefer not to add series, but maybe that's just me. So, yeah, One Word Kill, if it's not been read.
(too sick to research now, maybe someone else can confirm those two are new to the group)

(Have not done this or anything more recent yet. Ill.)
