If the twins were born in 1995, then they're almost 15, and Jane had them when she was about 45.

Maybe time travellers just don't age very fast ???

Yeah, no time traveling, just failure of anyone to update the entry. Shows the problem of stating anyone's age in something like a Wikipedia or IMDb entry; it's out of date almost as soon as it's posted.

It's an over-the-top romantic story about impossible love. Sound familiar?
Turns out, there is an organization called INSITE (International Network of Somewhere in Time Enthusiasts) who started a group, a quarterly publication, eventually a website, and an annual meeting at the location where their film was shot, Mackinac Island, Michigan.
I see numerous parallels to our own experience. Perhaps it's worth exploring.

Just seeing this! This is my Mother in Law's fave film... I' saw it maybe about a year ago fter she raved about it and gave me the DVD - she says when she dies she wants the main love theme to be played in the church. It is very pretty.
I just bought thebook and soundtrack for her Christmas.. (I hadn't realised until I bought the CD that John Barry had done all the composing)
I must read this thread in full!
When buying the book I realised that the guy who wrote it has written a lot of books that have been turned into movies..
I Am Legend with Will Smith and What Dreams May Come with Robin Williams. Also Duel but I havent heard of that film.

I just finished the novel by Richard Matheson, originally titled, "Bid Time Return", which comes from a line in Shakespeare's Richard II (act iii, scene 2): "O call back yesterday, bid time return."
I'll post more later.
