This extraordinary, magical novel is the story of Clare and Henry who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-two and Henry thirty. 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 pulled suddenly into his past or future. His disappearances are spontaneous and his experiences are alternately harrowing and amusing.
The Time Traveler's Wife depicts the effects of time travel on Henry and Clare's passionate love for each other with grace and humour. Their struggle to lead normal lives in the face of a force they can neither prevent nor control is intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.
Now a major motion picture starring Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana.
This is one of those novels that I like to revisit every few years. As soon as I finished this when I first read it about 4 years ago, I wanted to immediately read it again. But I waited and it didn't disappoint.

This is a great love story in the tradition of Doctor Zhicago, one for the sunchair in the back garden or by the pool or on the beach.
I can't believe how quickly my order was processed! The website was dead easy to navigate around (think you've improved since the last time I used it)...Thanks for making school book buying such a breeze .
