Time Traveler's Wife
Time Traveler's Wife | Audrey Niffenegger
A dazzling novel in the most untraditional fashion, this is the remarkable story of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who travels involuntarily through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and Clare's passionate love affair endures across a sea of time and captures the two lovers in an impossibly romantic trap, and it is Audrey Niffenegger's cinematic storytelling that makes the novel's unconventional chronology so vibrantly triumphant. An enchanting debut and a spellbinding tale of fate and belief in the bonds of love, The Time Traveler's Wife is destined to captivate readers for years to come.

Oh no! I read this book years ago. On my recent flight home it was almost my first ever binge but j missed the last 20.minutes when we started landing.
While I knew it was only 6 episodes, I didn't know it had been cancelled! Now I have just caught up only to realise it's been left hanging .......

TheLudicReader Is it any good? The movie they made was terrible. 7mo
MrsMalaprop @TheLudicReader It was a shocker. Would love to know if this series is better? 7mo
Teresereading Well because it ended mid story (the wedding) I‘m a bit 7mo
Teresereading Perplexed. I was enjoying it but there were some ‘ick‘ bits about older male 6 Yo girl which they try to address, I think our awareness has changed since book was published. There‘s a lot of loose ends/ foreshadowing that are left hanging because it didn‘t proceed to S2. 7mo

I think the main problem with The Time Traveler‘s Wife is exactly what I predicted: I love the film. It‘s like I looked for problems while reading the book because it couldn‘t possibly be as good as the movie. The story is just so much smoother on screen and those tone shifts are evened out, and as a result, the impact is far greater and more devastating.

When I first read this book almost 20 years ago, I remember being fascinated by time travel. Now the storyline feels much more shallow and bothersome. Henry is often a creep. Perhaps he had limited options, but I didn‘t find him to be a sympathetic figure. I‘m glad I re-read it though.

Finished this reread at 2am this morning... even on second read I couldn't put it down- I was, again, sucked into Henry and Clare's gorgeous love story. I can't wait to discuss this with my Senior Book Club in school. I have read some pretty scathing reviews of this ... and I can see that some of it is potentially problematic...Etta and Kimy? Grooming? Any thoughts? ✨️❤️📚

BookBelle84 I didn't like this one. I just couldn't care about the characters, especially him. He didn't come across as a very nice person, and it felt rather insta-love to me, but that could have been the wonky timeline. 13mo

Ok, but what‘s going on with Theo James hair? (It doesn‘t look so bad here but in the trailer 🤨)

Is anyone watching it? I was kind of curious but then I saw Steven Moffat‘s name connected to it and ehh

(I also haven‘t read it)

sprainedbrain Haven‘t watched it yet… I have read the book (loved it) and watched the movie (also loved that). I LOVE Theo so much, but he should not have this hair. 😂 2y

The whatever's subservient female relation whose own story is meaningless without the guy's existence.

I am so tired of these book titles (and the basic premise of most of them). Stop recommending these to me. Authors, do better.

megnews I love historical fiction and it seems a lot of these titles are that genre. I usually like the story but I agree I‘m sick of the titles. 2y

1. I would want to go back in time. I'd want to go back and see 60s, 70s and 80s rock/hair metal bands when they were at their peak. I'd want to go to Woodstock and Live aid.

My rdg grp's bk this month × I struggled with the story which was a must read some 20 yrs ago. Henry + Claire meet when 30 yrs separate them but again later when the gap is only 8. Henry's genes mean he time travels mtg himself and his wife repeatedly thru time. I'm afraid I struggled with the love story at the heart + while some nice bits felt at times the relationship was too weird and creepy. Not a hit maybe I shd have rd it back in the day 👇

*unpopular opinion* It was supposed to be a romantic novel with a great love story .But I couldn‘t connect to it. Story line is good but too much of time travel, too many details ( most of which are annoying to read ! ) . May be the writing style was not for me.3⭐️

#bookspin #novemberread

Ruthiella I found this book so-so too. I also thought it was gross that the grown man Henry encountered Claire as a child. I know it was due to time travel, but eww. 😖 2y

Rating: 4 ⭐ The Time Traveler's Wife the enchanted extraordinary love story. At some point while you are reading the story of Henry and Clare you can sense the tragedy that will hit them and you know it‘s going to hurt. But you can never stop reading you'll love the story of Henry and Clare and you'll get so immersed in their life. The story shows that inevitability of fate.
I loved every single detail in this novel.

A wonderful love story of having patience and understanding. I must have watched this movie years ago but I picked this book up because of a prompt I wanted to fulfill. The story came back to me. Now I want to watch the movie again since it's on Netflix. I found the story to be wonderful and sad at the same time. B+)

Buechersuechtling Oh, the movie‘s on Netflix❓ I missed that. Thanks for the hint. The used to be a book I regularly came back to because I loved it so much. Definitely a book to remember. Maybe I should think about a re-read. 3y

@TheSpineView I found extra goodies in my book when I opened it to read this weekend. 💚 Thank you again for sharing one of your favorites with me.

I've had this on my TBR forever but avoided it because I thought it being a love story that I might not like it. Boy was I wrong! I fell in love with this story and I thought it was a such a brilliant way to use time travel.

TheSpineView So glad you liked it. It was a wonderful story. 😍📖📚 3y
