The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger


When I read a book I don't normally want to have to work too hard trying to figure out what decade the story is taking place in, what age the characters are and how they got there. This one has been recommended by loads of people and it's looong at 528 pages. It's the story of Henry, a time traveler who meets his future wife, Clare, when she was 5 and he was 36 (although in 'real time' they are only 8 years apart). From there he pops (literally) in and out of her life at different points, she's 15 and he's 43 or she's 22 and he's 30... once I got used to the year and age changes it became a touching love story of two people meant to be together but often torn apart. Short review but after resisting reading this book I recommend it.
