Product Description:
The New York Times bestseller is now available in an unabridged edition.
Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six. They 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 from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.
Clare and Henry’s story unfolds from both points of view, depicting the effects of time travel on their marriage and their passionate love for each other. They 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 The Time Traveler's Wife intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Hauntingly Beautiful
How can I relate how much I loved this book?The love story between Clare and Henry is simply hauntingly beautiful. I sat in an airplane reading it and it made me cry.The author writes each segment, each meeting between the characters with a stark honesty.I related to both characters and felt both of their joys and pains.It's an amazing story-telling experience and it's written in a witty and non-expected way.I just loved it.A pleasure to read...I just wish I found it earlier.
Rating: - Suprisingly Simple in its complexity
My book group selected this book. I didn't really know much about it going in.
I was quickly impressed by the way the author was able to take such a complicated plotline with characters interacting with each other at different ages throughout their lives and make it easy to follow.
It was a really different take on time travel than I had ever read before---not a scifi "go back and fix history" book, not about paradoxes and alternate universes--and I enjoyed the fresh view ... Read More
Rating: - A great idea decently executed
I really liked parts of this book. The concept is great, the first section of the book was really good, and there were some really nice moments through out.
I also disliked some parts of this book. Its really sad, probably too sad. I actually almost stopped reading the book after the first part because I could tell that it was going to become really depressing. I put it down for a day but decided it would be worth finishing. I didn't regret my decision until the end, which was not at all pleasing. ... Read More
Rating:  - I'm am SOOO disappointed!
I can't say I had high expectations for this book, but I was looking forward to reading it. Unfortunately I can't count the times I nearly threw it against the wall in despair and almost gave up. I don't give up easily though, and continued to torture myself with finishing this awful book. I read quite a bit, and was sooo disappointed that this book ended up rising to the very top of my 'never recommend/never read again' list.
As some others have said, the characters were so out of well..'character' ... Read More
Rating: - Best Book I've read in a LONG time
I absolutely loved this book.I abandoned all of my responsibilities for two days so that I could read The Time Traveler's wife without stopping.I have now recommended it to everyone I know.It's a little confusing in the beginning, but a good confusing, because the author makes you want to keep reading to find out how everything will work out.You read bits and pieces of this man's great life at the times that he his experiencing them and it's very suspenseful.There is enough of both suspense and romance ...
