The Time Traveller's Wife

In March, while in Columbus, Georgina visiting Phyllis and Gil Stephenson, Phyllis gave me a book.

I have always been fascinated by the time travel concept and have seen other movies about the subject so I was anxious to read this book.

The Time Traveler's Wife is the debut novel of American author Audrey Niffenegger, published in 2003.

It is a love story about Henry DeTamble, a man with a genetic disorder that causes him to time travel unpredictably, and about his wife, Clare Abshire, an artist, who has to cope with his frequent absences and dangerous experiences. Clare and Henry's passionate affair endures across a sea of time and captures them in an impossible romantic trap that tests the strength of fate and basks in the bonds of love.

A movie of the story, with stars Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana was released in 2009. Now I will need to see this movie.
