| Summary |
"A Husband for My Wife" by William W. Stuart is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The book explores themes of rivalry, love, and the consequences of choices made in both romantic and ethical realms. The central plot revolves around an intricate relationship triangle entangled with elements of time travel, ultimately posing questions about loyalty and the complications of human emotions. The story unfolds through the perspectives of Bull Benton and his old friend turned rival, Professor Thurlow Benjamin. The narrative details Bull's tumultuous relationship with Vera Milston, who was initially engaged to him but ends up marrying Benji instead. After years of rivalry, Benji invents a time machine that allows him to manipulate time, leading to an adventure that culminates in unexpected consequences. As both men grapple with their past and the repercussions of their desires, the story builds towards a dramatic climax, where Bull plans a surprise for Benji that ironically serves both as revenge and an intricate twist on their intertwined fates. The novel weaves humor and intrigue with a thought-provoking look at the nature of love and friendship. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
