Sponsored Links What's This?

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.

  • I loved this book!

    I read this book when it first came out in mid 2004 and was deeply touched by it. I fell in love with the characters and their amazing journey through and against time. The author tells an amazing story about a time traveler and his wife, and how their lives are forever intertwined. When I finished the book in a matter of days, I felt empty as I did not want to the story to end having come to know and love the characters. Since I found the story so profound, I shelved it away thinking that I probably wouldn't reread it for a while because the story really stuck with me. Recently, I loaned it to my sister and after she read it, we talked about the story. From our discussion, all the emotions that I felt over four years ago when I read the book came rushing back and I remembered it so vividly. It is truly an unforgettable story that is beautifully told. I can't wait to watch the movie due out in December 2008.

  • Excelent Read

    I loved reading this book. When I was finished I felt like the story had come full circle and that it had a cohesive storyline. At first I thought I would be confused by all the jumping around but they eventually made it back and pulled it all together. Loved the book and would recomend it to a friend. I would suggest reading the book before watching the movie.

    Still reading the book. Although it is good so far, the jumping about takes some getting used to.

  • Time Travelers Wife

    I found the book to be confusing and crass. The comtent and inuendos are misplaced and unnecessary. I wanted to read the book because it sounded like a lovely romantic fantasy. What I found instead was a confusing, at times disturbing, novel that has a weak storyline and thin characters.
