The Time Travelers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

Audrey Niffenegger’s innovative debut, The Time Traveler’s Wife, is one of the best books that I have ever read! There have been many people who have reacted differently calling it unpredictable and complicated. However, for me it was like any other love story. Like listening to the story of someone's life in fragments of their memory. Back and forth... and then eventually the pieces of the puzzle fall into place. I was drawn in and hooked from the first page. 

According to Audrey Niffenegger, she wrote the book for her grandparents. Her grandfather died and her grandmother never remarried. She continued to live on for 30 more years. Audrey wanted to share through this book the notion of true love and the perfect marriage. However, as you read the book you find, the marriage is hardly perfect, however, the efforts to make it survive are. On the other hand, it wonderfully depicts the notion of true love. 

How perfect it would be if everyone had their very own Henry or their very own Clare. 

There were times that I was transported a hundred percent into the events that take place in the book and lived alongside the two lovers. I found myself laughing, crying and waiting for Henry to show up again. 

In my opinion its a MUST READ for any romantic! 

Below Im sharing a short review I found online though originally I wanted to share excerpts from the book: 

This 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.
