The Time Traveler's Wife

by Audrey Niffenegger
PRMS paperback 536 pages
genre: romance, relationships, time travel

What an unusual book! I wonder how the author conceived of it. Henry DeTamble has a genetic disorder which causes him to time travel. He has no control over it, though, and ends up nude in a different time and place. The author weaves together his story with that of Clare, a girl he meets when she is only six and he is an adult. It is a strange friendship, with him knowing that they eventually get married and she curious about her own future. Odd, disturbing, beautiful, curious, interesting . . . this took me a while to read, but it was worth it! I love how Henry's personal story unfolded throughout the book.
