The Time Traveler's Wife - Review

Book : The Time Traveler's wife
Author : Audrey Niffenegger
Yr Pub : 2003
A Gist : In The Time Traveler's Wife, Audrey Niffenegger tells a touching love story with a new twist. Henry DeTamble is a librarian who suffers from a genetic disorder (its clinical name is Chrono-Displacement Disorder)that causes him to shift backward and forward through time. Without a moment's notice, he disappears, leaving behind his clothes and everything else, and arrives naked at another time in his life. Sometimes he even meets a different version of himself. He discovers that he has met Clare Abshire since she was a young girl, making several visits with her throughout her life. Clare falls in love with a man who can't control when he comes and goes. Far from being a science fiction novel, Audrey Niffenegger uses the time travel device as a way of drawing out her characters who want to overcome all obstacles in their love.

Rating : Highly Recommended

trip.”

“To those who say there are no new love stories, I
heartily recommend The Time Traveler’s Wife, an enchanting
novel, which is beautifully crafted and as dazzlingly
imaginative as it is dizzyingly romantic.”
—SCOTT TUROW

"Niffenegger's beautiful prose and sure-handed way with character development lifts The Time Traveler's Wife beyond the realm of romance potboilers and into the mainstream of literature that will last."
