The Time Travelers Wife is an intricate love story about a man, a librarian at the Newberry Library in Chicago with a genetic disorder that causes him to time travel unpredictably, and about his wife, an artist who has to cope with his frequent absences and dangerous experiences . . .
A highly original first novel, The Time Traveler's Wife boasts real characters imbued with flawed, human, loving characteristics and real problems, a fresh premise, and the author's faultless ear for dialogue.
"A soaring love story illuminated by dozens of finely observed details and scenes [that leave the] reader with the impression of life’s riches and strangeness rather than of easy thrills.” -- Publishers Weekly
