Can someone help me find a book?



I have only the barest memory of the story. Here it is:

A man is on a planet (not earth). He discovers that he is the
reincarnation (rebirth?) of someone who lived there before. What I
seem to recall is that he discovers that he sent himself out into
space and grew a new body to inhabit. He starts to remember his former
life when he returns to the planet. The scene most vivid that I can
recall is him walking through a house remembering his former persona,
and the woman he is there with.

I'm sorry it's so sketchy - I read this at least 15-20 years ago.

Thanks!
