The Time Traveler's Wife

Product Description

This extraordinary, magical novel is the story of Clare and Henry who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-two and Henry thirty. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself pulled suddenly into his past or future. His disappearances are spontaneous and his experiences are alternately harrowing and amusing. The Time Traveler's Wife depicts the effects of time travel on Henry and Clare's passionate love for each other with grace and humour. Their struggle to lead normal lives in the face of a force they can neither prevent nor control is intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.

Incredible!: Having re-read this book after initially reading it about 3 years ago, I was just as enamored with this story as I was the first time. Henry and Clare's story is so mesmerizing both as a love story and as an original science-fiction concept. I cannot emphasize enough how captivating Henry's adventures through time are, and his relationship with Clare as both a young girl… More reviews

if i could time travel, i'd go back and not read this book: First, I'll echo another reviewer and say it had useless scenes that didn't add to the story. Also, it seemed like everything was so extreme. I was fine buying into the time-travel deal. That's obvious. But, what was supposed to be realism was so fantastical. There were nothing slightly mundane, nothing NOT melodramatic. All emotions were heightened. I kind… More reviews
