The time traveler's wife

Front Cover
7494 Reviews
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2003 - Fiction - 546 pages
A dazzling novel in the most untraditional fashion, this is the remarkable story of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who travels involuntarily through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and Clare's passionate love affair endures across a sea of time and captures the two lovers in an impossibly romantic trap, and it is Audrey Niffenegger's cinematic storytelling that makes the novel's unconventional chronology so vibrantly triumphant. An enchanting debut and a spellbinding tale of fate and belief in the bonds of love, The Time Traveler's Wife is destined to captivate readers for years to come.

It started out good but then just kind of dragged on and on. Towards the end you were just skipping forward hoping it would get to the point. Read full review
