Product Description
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.

A Timeless Love Saga for Both Genders by Martha J. Rogus (Warren, PA)

This is one of the best stories I ever read. The voice shifts between the two main characters, which makes it very unique. The dialogue is believable and rich in detail. Henry's presence enlivens the book whenever he "appears" and "disappears." It's one of those stories that stays with you and never completely vanishes from your memory.

Great read. by T. Bosch (HARBOR SPRINGS, MI United States)

Really enjoyed this read. The author has a real knack for telling a story. I normally don't read a book twice in a row, but this book was worth it.

Disappointed I read the whole book by Avid Reader (USA)

The characters aren't likeable. Even with subtitles the story line is inconsistent. Easily top 5 worst books I have ever read. Save your money and buy anything else.

I'll start by saying that I listened to the audio book version, and that may have colored my impression in a way (kind of like watching a movie) that the written version would not have done. I sometimes think that the voices, intonation, etc of the narrator does have an effect on my impression of the book. That being said, I also have to say that I "read" this book last December over the 2008 Christmas season(it is now November)and I still find myself thinking about it. I find this remarkable, if only because I often can't even remember whether I have read (or listened to) a book when I pick it up, and must do a scan through before choosing it for a future read. I was enthralled on so many levels while reading this book, and it became such a part of my life, and I became a part of the story (in my mind anyway) so completely, for awhile, that it was impossible to think about anything else. Translation: It was a very good read. I have to say that I have read a lot of books in my lifetime (too many and too long now to even want to talk about) and there are maybe a dozen that have left such an impression on me that I feel the need to revisit/reread them. This one of them, and I have decided to gift myself this Christmas with a rerun of the audio book. I miss Clare and Henry and need to touch them again. If I could manage it I would travel back in time to enjoy this story anew again. I considered an actual "read" but decided that I would miss their voices (I know:). So if you are having trouble reading this book, might I suggest that you give the audio book a shot. I also must say that I have not seen the movie because I do not want my memories of Clare and Henry spoiled by a Hollywood version, which I am sure is not anything close to the story I remember. One more thing, I have purposely refrained from responding to some of the criticisms of other readers, based on their own beliefs, feelings, whatever...I think that you should give this story a try, and decide the rest for yourself. I would love to hear from you after you read this book. Email me : [...]
