Book Review of The Time Traveler's Wife

The Time Traveler's Wife
reviewed on + 1458 more book reviews


Surprisingly, this is a romance. The hero, Henry DeTamble, and the heroine, Clare Abshire, love each other passionately. For both it's the love of their lives. Henry is a time traveler who encounters Claire at a very young age. As she grows up they get to know each other. They marry and after many miscarriages, they finally have a daughter, the much loved Alba, who is also a time traveler. I loved the ending. While many people really like this story I liked parts but thought it moved slowly in other parts. With the editors' help I think the tale could have been told about 300 pages.
