Consider Time and Again by Jack Finney.
“Time and Again begins with a straightforward premise—a midcentury man recruited into a government time-travel experiment—and then settles into an immersive stay in 1882 Manhattan. Its useful part is the dense, tactile rendering of streets, customs and maps that make the past feel lived-in. The novel rewards patience: it prioritizes mood, small social scenes and romantic attachment over chase sequences or technical explanation. The main limitation is a slow middle and a midcentury narrator voice that some readers will find sentimental or dated.”
