Replay

Book • 1986
In 'Replay', Ken Grimwood tells the story of Jeff Winston, a 43-year-old radio journalist who dies of a heart attack in 1988 and wakes up back in his 18-year-old body in 1963.

Jeff relives his life multiple times, each time retaining the memories of his previous lives.

He attempts to change various aspects of his life, including trying to prevent historical events and accumulating wealth through his knowledge of future events.

During one of his replays, he meets Pamela, another replayer, and together they explore the complexities of their situation and try to find other replayers.

The novel delves into themes of love, regret, responsibility, and the search for meaning in a life that is repeatedly relived.
