The Time Traveler's Wife

  • The time-altering love story behind the major new TV series

Rediscover the extraordinary love story of Clare and Henry.

The pair met when Clare was just six and Henry thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-two and Henry thirty.

Impossible but true.

Now adapted into the major Sky TV series, The Time Traveler's Wife is the international bestselling novel of a time-altering love. Henry is a librarian who suffers from a rare condition where his genetic clock periodically resets, finding himself pulled suddenly into his past or future. Meanwhile, Clare is an artist waiting all her life for her great love Henry to appear. In the face of this force neither can prevent nor control, Henry and Clare's struggle to lead normal lives is both intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.

'Dark, unpredictable, incredibly clever and a modern romance' Grazia

  • 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

    Vogue

  • Magical - memorable...poignant, amusing and intensely moving portrait of a unique relationship - quirky, romantic, and kept the right side of cute

    Mail on Sunday
