The Time Traveler's Wife

The iconic time travel love story and mega-bestselling first novel from Audrey Niffenegger is "a soaring celebration of the victory of love over time" (Chicago Tribune).

“Niffenegger’s inventive and poignant writing is well worth a trip” (Entertainment Weekly).

Henry DeTamble is a dashing, adventurous librarian who is at the mercy of his random time time-travelling abilities. Clare Abshire is an artist whose life moves through a natural sequential course. This is the celebrated and timeless tale of their love. Henry and Clare's passionate affair is built and endures across a sea of time and captures them in an impossibly romantic trap that tests the strength of fate and basks in the bonds of love. 

“[A] time-travel love story par excellence…It will be a hard-hearted reader who is not moved to tears by the dangers Henry and Clare ultimately face, and by the author’s soaring celebration of the victory of love over time.”  -  Chicago Tribune

“Readers will recall in Love in the Time of Cholera a love that works despite all travails and impediments…Marquez, like Niffenegger here, means to tell us that for such exalted love, there is no tragedy and never any constraints.”  -  The Washington Post Book World

Highly original and imaginative, this debut novel raises questions about life, love, and the effects of time on relationships.
