The Time Traveler's Wife

time_travelers_wife Audrey Niffenegger's innovative debut, The Time Traveler's Wife, is the story of Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, an adventuresome librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-three and Henry thirty-one. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity in his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.
The Time Traveler's Wife depicts the effects of time travel on Henry and Clare's marriage and their passionate love for each other as the story unfolds from both points of view. Clare and Henry attempt to live normal lives, pursuing familiar goals—steady jobs, good friends, children of their own. All of this is threatened by something they can neither prevent nor control, making their story intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.

what Leanne have to say:

Once again, i marvelled at the creation of a magnificent idea. We have always imagined that the life of a time traveller would be fun and exciting,but this idea was turned upside down when Henry could not control the happening of time travel itself. Not only that, the previous imaginations of the ability to change the future by altering the past is also not present in the entire book. Ingrid killed herself mainly because Henry provoked her during time travel, and other scenes that contained that idea. Everything seemed predestined. Clare was such a good wife. She endured countless waits for her husband,unable to travel across time with him and trapped in the present. I really like the narration at the end of the book. Knowing that Henry will appear although he is dead, is both torturous and immensely awarding. I look forward to the wonderful recreation of the movie.
