Henry and Clare's passionate affair endures across a sea of time and captures them in an impossibly romantic trap that tests the strength of fate and basks in the bonds of love. "Niffenegger's inventive and poignant writing is well worth a trip" (<i>Entertainment Weekly).</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[A] time-travel love story par excellence...It will be a hard-hearted reader who is not moved to tears by the dangers Henry and Clare ultimately face, and by the author's soaring celebration of the victory of love over time."-- "Chicago Tribune"<br><br>"A singular tale of a charming man with a funny condition (he slips in and out of time) and the woman who loves him. The setting, the city of Chicago, is luminous."-- "San Francisco Chronicle"<br><br>"A soaring love story illuminated by dozens of finely observed details and scenes, and one that skates nimbly around a huge conundrum at the heart of the book...Leaves a reader with a sense of life's riches and strangeness."-- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)"<br><br>"An extraordinary novel with a unique premise...Niffenegger compassionately develops her unique characters, with the grace to accept their difficult circumstances, as well as their blessings. Don't be deceived by the easy charm of Henry and Clare's relationship; they will draw you into their small circle, make you complicit with their dreams and disappointments. They will break your heart."-- "Curledup.com"<br><br>"As if love weren't complicated enough, debut author Niffenegger dreams up a happy couple plagued by a peculiar problem...It is to Niffenegger's credit that she avoids cheap shots and develops her innovative concept in some exceptionally strange and witty ways."-- "Time Out New York"<br><br>"As Clare and Henry take turns telling the story, revealing the depth of their bond despite everything a sci-fi premise becomes a powerfully original love story."-- "People (Top Ten Books of the Year)"<br><br>"Compelling...Skillfully written with a blend of distinct characters and heartfelt emotions that hopscotch through time, begging interpretation on many levels."-- "Library Journal (starred review)"<br><br>"Contrary to appearances, <i>The Time Traveler's Wife</i> is a very old love story: wonky, sexy, incredible...charmingly, inventively retold and none the worse for it."-- "The Times (London)"<br><br>"Intricately woven...Exceedingly literate."-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br><br>"Moving, razor-edged prose...Niffenegger writes with the unflinching yet detached clarity of a war correspondent standing at the sidelines of an unfolding battle."-- "USA Today"<br><br>"Niffenegger's inventive and poignant writing is well worth a trip."-- "Entertainment Weekly"<br><br>"Readers will recall in <i>Love in the Time of Cholera</i> a love that works despite all travails and impediments...Marquez, like Niffenegger here, means to tell us that for such exalted love there is no tragedy and never any constraints."-- "The Washington Post Book World"<br><br>"Spirited...Niffenegger plays ingeniously in her temporal hall of mirrors."-- "The New Yorker"<br><br>"<i>The Time Traveler's Wife</i> is a Houdini box of a novel, filled with spring latches and trap doors. Henry and Clare's love affair zigs and zags across decades - at times touching, childish, sexy, tragic but always true. It is an exhilarating ride, and I was grateful to travel along."--Caroline Preston, author of Lucy Crocker 2.0 and Jackie by Josie<br><br>"Audrey Niffenegger imagines this story of an accidental time-traveler and the love of his life with grace and humanity. Fiercely inventive, slyly ambitious, and lovingly told, <i>The Time Traveler's Wife</i> sparkles as it fearlessly explores the delicate interplay of love and time. This novel is a joy."--Anne Ursu, author of The Disapparition of James and Spilling Clarence<br><br>"Haunting, original, and so smart it took my breath away...in short, the rare kind of book that I finish and jealously wish that <i>I'd </i>written."--Jodi Picoult, author of Plain Truth and Second Glance<br><br>"To those who say there are no new love stories, I heartily recommend <i>The Time Traveler's Wife</i>, an enchanting novel, beautifully crafted and as dazzlingly imaginative as it is dizzyingly romantic."--Scott Turow, author of Reversible Errors and Presumed Innocent<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Audrey Niffenegger is a writer and visual artist who lives in Chicago and London.
