Plot Summary

Peter Donat is an American nuclear physicist working in London who has developed a peculiar obsession with the eighteenth century, particularly with the elegant Georgian house in a London square where he lives. The house once belonged to a man whose life and times fascinate Peter deeply, and he spends his evenings studying the period with an intensity that concerns his colleagues and friends, who fear he is losing touch with reality.

During a violent thunderstorm, Peter is struck by lightning and finds himself transported back to the year 1784, inhabiting the life of the house’s original owner. At first disoriented and terrified, Peter gradually adjusts to his new reality and discovers that the eighteenth century, for all its discomforts and dangers, possesses a beauty and humanity that his own atomic age seems to have lost.

Most importantly, Peter meets and falls deeply in love with Martha Donat, a beautiful and intelligent woman whose warmth and grace embody everything that drew him to the past in the first place. Their love affair flourishes against the elegant backdrop of Georgian London, and Peter begins to believe that he has found his true home in time. But his knowledge of the future proves both a blessing and a curse — his seemingly prophetic insights make him the talk of London society but also attract the dangerous suspicion that he is mad or worse.

As Peter struggles to build a life in the past while hiding his extraordinary origins, the forces that transported him begin to pull him back toward the present, and he faces the heartbreaking realization that he may be forced to choose between the modern world where he belongs and the woman he loves in a century that is not his own, building to a deeply moving conclusion.
