Name of book about a man who dies and keeps coming back at different times of his life?

Question

I read this book years ago and cannot remember the name of it!! It was about a man who has a heart attack on a certain date/time, but instead of dying, comes back as himself but younger. He lives his whole life again until that same date/time, dies again, comes back at another time in his life. This goes on and on, and he meets a woman doing the same thing...anyone know the name of this book?

He finds out that the woman is doing the same thing when he goes to see a movie she made...Eventually, they start meeting each time they "repeat" their life...anyone know the name of this book?

For some reason, I think it may have been called something like "Repeater" or something similar. That's how he thought of himself in the story, as a "repeater"

Answer 1

The Christmas Carole-Charles Dickens.

I am including a link to a very well written 2006 critique on the same story.

Answer 2

Hey "quite new here", did you even read the question? The Christmas Carol??? Is that supposed to be a serious answer? Geez...that's the worst answer I've read all day

I don't know the answer, but it sounds like a great book.

Answer 3

It sounds similar to "What Dreams May Come" by Richard Matheson, but I don't think that is the one you are looking for. It is a very good read though.
