Synopsis

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.

About this title

Review:

"Moving, but worth the heartbreak" (Glynis Barber Daily Express)

"'The Time Traveler's Wife is one of those books where you read the first paragraph and you're hooked -unmissable'" (Irish Independent)

"'Henry's journeys back and forth are by turns slapstick noir and unbearably poignant, and Clare's child and teen narrations disturbingly pitch-perfect. Philosophical speculation occurs in the most unlikely devices and morality, despite the temptations of plot, remains intact. This is alarmingly close to perfection, and balm to the jaded'" (Scotland on Sunday)

"'The central story is so strong and touching - a universal story - ingenious - a rare book'" (Evening Standard)

"'Wonky, sexy, incredible'" (The Times)
