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:

"At its core The Time Traveler's Wife is an old-fashioned love story. A terrific book - startlingly original construction" (Observer)

"I was ridiculously entranced by Audrey Niffenegger's big, reckless novel...utterly convincing" (Daily Telegraph)

"Niffenegger exploits the possibilities of her fantasy scenario with immense skill: no wonder this novel has spent weeks on the bestseller lists in the US. This is one of those books that makes you want to eat it up from start to finish" (Guardian)

"Wonky, sexy, incredible" (The Times)

"Pick up Niffenegger's book and you'll experience a visceral thrill that only a few novels provide. An elegy to love and loss" (Independent on Sunday)
