An enchanting debut and a spellbinding tale of fate and belief in the bonds of love.
The Time Traveler's Wife is a heart-wrenching account of a time traveler named Henry, who spontaneously "travels." He
cannot control when the time travel happens and it leads to a very unpredictable life. Henry meets Clare and thus begins
a love story of two people who can never be completely together. The Time Traveler's Wife will stay with you well after
you've read the ending. Melancholy follows the two lovers and propels you to keep reading. There is deep symolism in
the novel, though the circumstances around the two main characters is outlandish, the feelings behind it are real. How
can you truly be 100% with someone who can never be there for you? It's a question a lot of relationships face and
Niffenegger answers it beautifully.
I think what impressed me so much about this book was the way time traveling was handled.
It did take some getting use to, and if you keep trying and just read the story for itself. Once you do that you will find
your self engrossed.
The novel is also crafted on a very literary level, with eloquent sentences and descriptions that merit this being
a contemporary classic.
