Description

“On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, killing President Kennedy, and the world changed. What if it could have been changed? In this remarkable novel, Stephen King masterfully captures the social, political, and cultural realities of his generation with unprecedented depth, taking readers on a breathtaking journey into the past and exploring with them the possibility of altering it. The story begins with Jake Epping, an English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who earns extra money teaching equivalency classes. He assigns his students essays about a life-altering event, and one essay shocks him—a horrific story of a night more than fifty years earlier when Harry Dunning’s father came home and murdered his mother, sister, and brother with a sledgehammer. Reading the essay is a watershed moment for Jake, changing his life, just as it changed Harry’s and American history in 1963.” Something changed in the blink of an eye. Not long after Jake reads the article, he meets his friend Al, who owns a local restaurant. Al reveals to him that the pantry in his restaurant is a gateway to the past, to a specific day in 1958. Al chooses Jake to undertake the mission that has become his obsession: preventing the assassination of Kennedy.
