Time Traveler's Wife, The

"[A] time-travel love story par excellence...It will be a hard-hearted reader who is not moved to tears by the dangers Henry and Clare ultimately face, and by the author's soaring celebration of the victory of love over time."-- "Chicago Tribune"

The beloved, mega bestselling first novel from Audrey Niffenegger. A most untraditional love story, this is the celebrated tale of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who inadvertently travels through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and Clare's passionate affair 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. The Time Traveler's Wife is an odd and enchanting love story. Most of us meet the person we love when we are adults, when the children we were are long gone. Henry and Clare--through the decidedly mixed blessing of Henry's Chrono-Displacement Disorder--have it both ways. It is a story of intense devotion filtered through time--of two people who share the best and worst of growing up as soulmates in a world that can change in an instant(Charles Dickinson, author of A Shortcut in Time)--;Provided by publisher.;A most untraditional love story, this is the celebrated tale of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who inadvertently travels through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course.
