Synopsis

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.

This is one of the best books I've ever read. It is my all-time favorite. Being the bookworm that I am, my friends always ask me what book they should read. I always recommend The Time Traveler's Wife. This book will make you smile and cry and cry some more. Although the beginning of the book is a bit confusing, it will make sense as continue reading. This book is truly amazing and will take you out of your humdrum world and you'll enter the lives of Henry and Claire.

i loved this book, everything about it. i loved how it skipped around, because that's how my mind works. i loved the whole time travel leap in leap out concept, it's like one of my favorite shows as a kid, quantum leap. i loved the ending, it was so realistic. whenever i see people on the train reading this book i silently think, good choice.

For those of us who grew up on science fiction and fantasy, but as we grow older need more reality, this book is the perfect mix. A love story men and women will love! Could not put it down!!

This will go on my list of books to recommend to friends. I almost wish I hadn't read it so I could pick for my book club rules say - can't be a book you've already read. The characters were well-written and people you came to care about. Interesting premise that in the wrong hands could have been ludicrous but worked here. A definite must.

Nothing is better than a book that leaves an impression after you've finished---a book that makes you sad to put it down. The characters, while unique due to the extraordinary cir***stances, are familiar and realistic. Highly recommended!
