The Time Traveler's Wife

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).

This may be one of those books that most people enjoy -- just not me! I only got to chapter 19 or 132 chapters and I just can't bear it anymore. So glad this one was free in the Audible Plus catalog.

DNF @ 14.5%.

Great book! Loved following along as their love and adoration grew. It was endearing to watch Henry go through his struggles. We wish we can travel in time but it really was difficult for him.

Niffenegger’s approach to time travel is innovative and intriguing. The story continually questions the possibility of fate and compels the reader to appreciate the simple moments that make up our brief lives on this planet. I’m anxious to see how this translated into a movie.
