The Time Traveler's Wife

This is the extraordinary love story of Clare and Henry who met when Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-two and Henry thirty. Impossible but true, because Henry suffers from a rare condition where his genetic clock periodically resets and he finds himself pulled suddenly into his past or future. In the face of this force they can neither prevent nor control, Henry and Clare's struggle to lead normal lives is both intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.

Reviews

  • Moving, but worth the heartbreak

    Glynis Barber, Daily Express

  • 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
