| Summary | "A World Apart" by Sam Merwin, Jr. is a science fiction novel written during the early 1950s. The story revolves around themes of time travel and nostalgia, exploring how a man named Banning Coulter unexpectedly finds himself returned to his youth, grappling with his past decisions and relationships as he navigates this second chance at life. The plot follows Coulter as he drives through his hometown after a long absence, only to discover he's reverted back to his younger self, both in body and circumstances. As he encounters familiar places and figures from his past, particularly Eve Lawton, the woman he left behind, he delves into the impact of his earlier choices on those around him. The twist lies in Eve's role in this time shift; she has engineered a time travel mechanism that allows them to reconnect, but her motivations and the consequences of this reunion challenge Coulter's understanding of his own desires and autonomy. Ultimately, his journey is not just about reclaiming youth, but about confronting the darker aspects of love, dependency, and the longing for freedom from familial encroachments.
