The Time Traveler's Wife

‘An old-fashioned love story. A terrific book’ Observer
‘An elegy to love and loss’ Independent
‘One of those books that makes you want to eat it up from start to finish’ Guardian


Henry and Clare meet, fall in love, and build a life together. Just not in that order.

Henry is a dashing, adventurous librarian who travels helplessly through time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his own past and future. Clare is an artist whose life moves forwards like the rest of us, one day to the next.

As they try to anchor their passionate affair in the here and now, Henry’s constant disappearances and sudden arrivals leave Clare realising there can be nothing normal about their relationship. But what they build instead is one of the most intensely moving and enduring love stories of our time.

The Time Traveler's Wife is the international bestselling novel of a time-altering love.
