B07 #28: Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

This is my all-time favourite book. I realise it is a best seller list book and all, and probably a bit stereotypical, but nonetheless, I love it. And, it’s going to be made into a movie. I am so excited, even if Brad Pitt is doing it! (Is that good or bad?)

Time Traveler’s Wife is the story of Henry DeTamble, a librarian who involuntarily travels through time, and Clare, an artist whose life takes a natural course. It is a story of their love and their lives, and revolves around different points of Clare’s life. Since Henry does travel through time, Clare often finds things out about him before he actually finds them out about himself. It makes for some interesting story-telling and confusing twists. For example, they meet one another when Clare is six and Henry is thirty-six years old; they get married when Clare is twenty-three and Henry is thirty-one.

It is simply amazing, and very easy to keep up with, which is very surprising considering how difficult a topic time-traveling is. Do not be fooled; this is not typical science fiction, or typical genre fiction. It will be a classic from our time. (I think schools are already adding it to their curriculum.)

Even my husband loved this book, and he only reads “dime-novels”. Now, don’t tell him I told you, but he cried at the end. ;)
