The Time Traveler's Wife

By Audrey Niffenegger

Now a series on HBO starring Rose Leslie and Theo James! The iconic time travel love story and mega-bestselling first novel from Audrey Niffenegger is "a soaring celebration of the victory of love over time" (Chicago Tribune). Henry DeTamble is a dashing, adventurous librarian who is at the mercy of his random time time-traveling abilities. Clare Abshire is an artist whose life moves through a natural sequential course. This is the celebrated and timeless tale of their love. Henry and Clare's passionate affair is built and endures across a sea of time and captures them in an impossibly romantic trap that tests the strength of fate and basks in the bonds of love. “Niffenegger’s inventive and poignant writing is well worth a trip” (Entertainment Weekly).

Really detailed read… I kept up with the pace pretty well. This would have been so much better as a series than the movie that was made. The movie didn’t even touch the timeline of the time travelers life like the book does.

I know a lot of people love this one but I just found it to be utterly depressing. I didn’t even care what happened next
