Now a series on CRAVE starring Rose Leslie and Theo James!
Audrey Niffenegger's innovative debut, The Time Traveler's Wife, 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 finds himself periodically displaced 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.
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.

A Classic
"This book is in my top 10. It's a great love story, unique in every way. Great flow, easy to read and hard to put down. I found myself completely immersed in the characters. It has so much more to offer than the movie, and I recommend this to anyone who likes love stories, and tales of time travel."
— Jill (5/5)
Not the greatest book, but not that bad either
"An interesting read, though it gives a sci-fi feel that clashes a bit with the kind of rustic elements. The pace is weird; sometimes it moves fast and sometimes a bit too slowly. I feel maybe the author was too focused on the events and neglected the style of writing a bit."
— Grace (3/5)
OK Read
"An interesting take on a love story. Sometimes it felt stalled and slow at times."
— Courtney (3/5)
Such a unique love story
"I found the non-linear narrative to be very well orchestrated and I loved all the moments of foreshadowing. This book flew by!"
— Stephanie (4/5)
Absolute favourite book!
"This is an amazing read! Read it three times so far and recommend it to anyone that loves romance novels!"

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
“Highly original first novel…Niffenegger has written a soaring love story illuminated by dozens of finely observed details and scenes…It is a fair tribute to [Niffenegger’ s] skill and sensibility to say that the book leaves a reader with the impression of life’s riches and strangeness rather than of easy thrills.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
“A powerfully original love story.” —People
“Niffenegger creates real characters with flawed, human, loving characteristics and with real and extraordinary problems….Niffeneger succeeds in telling a tender tale of love and allows the reader to rediscover an old fascination with the idea of time travel.” —Winnipeg Free Press
“Beguiling, original debut… A delight.” —The Bookseller, star choice
“This is an ambitious book…it can in its best moments enthrall and engage. It’s an unabashed, well-written love story.” —The Globe and Mail
“[An] oddly compelling and original formulation…. This is Niffenegger’s first novel, yet it is remarkably free of many of the common pitfalls of a freshman effort. … Niffenegger keeps her readers’ attention with a faultless ear for dialogue and with the freshness of her premise. … Her touch for comedy is assured, and acts to leaven more sober aspects of the novel.” —The National Post
“Niffenegger’s storytelling is bold, confident and entrancing. Her prose is warm and inviting. And her characters are created with heartfelt sincerity. There’s a lot to love in this book….The Time Traveller’s Wife is an engrossing read that keeps both emotions and intellect entertained.” —The Gazette
“This is a seamless, soaring love story….As the last pages of this 500-page novel loomed closer, I felt all of the wonderful emotions of having read an unabashed, brilliantly written love story….The Time Traveller’s Wife is not a Christmas story, but it is the perfect read for the holiday. Like the emotions of the season it will leave you laughing, crying, and babbling incoherently to your family and friends who will, do doubt, attempt to steal the book away when you aren’t looking. Be warned. Buy that special someone their own copy — now.” —The Sun Times (Owen Sound)

"A forceful romance with a fascinating science-fiction wrinkle." —The Sunday Times (UK) "It might seem a little early in the year to be claiming we've found 2004's must-read novel, but that's just how highly we rateThe Time Traveler's Wife, which challenges conceptions of time and space... A love affair that will totally capture your heart." —Glamour (UK)
