 starbox | Feb 20, 2021 |  cut 100 pages out of the middle and would be awesome! (  ) Betsy_Crumley | Jan 28, 2021 | Had read this first the year it came out and again this week for book club. I mostly feel the same about it. I really liked it, it's romantic, complicated, sweet, sensual, sad, and a very little comical. It's hard to put this in a category, as it seems to meet many genre. ( ) EllenH | Jan 19, 2021 | I started this book when it first came out and abandoned it. This time, I was pulled right into it: probably the difference between being 20-something and 40-something. At 20-something, I think it was much harder for me to imagine this kind of love. As the story went on, there was a lot about the relationship between Clare and Henry that made me uncomfortable, especially how he, as a grown man, interacted with her as a child. The story started to drag, and I found myself skimming. Still, I was glad to give this book another try. I found much more in it to like the second time, and I think that speaks to the importance of reading the right book at the right time. As a writer, the way Niffengger put this book together helps me to think about constructing a book like a puzzle: crafting clues that the reader pieces together. megbmore | Jan 2, 2021 | Though the story thread of this novel was difficult to grasp at first. Reading about the characters at different stages of their lives was interesting, though it was difficult to keep track of what they were doing throughout the years. It was a highly readable book, and I rushed through it over the course of an evening. However, I certainly would not include it on a top 100 science fiction/fantasy list.

 The triumph of the book is the triumph of normality, of setting up a decent family life even if you are constantly dissappearing from it, of being loyal to somebody with what Niffenegger finally explains as a genetic dysfunction - chrono-displacement, as she calls it.  "The Time Traveler's Wife" can be an exasperating read, but as a love story it has its appeal: Refreshingly, the novel portrays long-term commitment as something lively and exuberant rather than dutiful and staid, evoking both the comforts it brings us and the tribulations we learn to live with.  Niffenegger, despite her moving, razor-edged prose, doesn't claim to be a romantic. She writes with the unflinching yet detached clarity of a war correspondent standing at the sidelines of an unfolding battle. She possesses a historian's eye for contextual detail. This is no romantic idyll. About halfway through Audrey Niffenegger's debut novel, The Time Traveler's Wife, you realize you're going to be devastated. You love the characters, you're deeply involved in their lives, you can sense tragedy coming and you know it's going to hurt. But there's no way you can stop reading... Niffenegger structures the novel clearly enough that the timelines never get tangled, and her writing is so strong you'd keep going even if you did get confused.

It's FABULOUS (and I'm not easily impressed.)
Henry is a librarian who- for some inexplicable (genetic?) reason finds himself travelling through time. He has no control over when and where...he finds himself naked in the past...or the future. Necessitating much theft and fleeing, it's a dangerous problem. He meets his future love...aged six. He revisits past tragedies...and can go on ahead to see the outcome of certain issues. He meets up with himself as a youth...
With existential moments ...and with a real relevance to ACTUAL stuff...death, memory, people who were here but are no longer....or who are now in a whole different place ("did my child really play with his toys in this room?...he's an adult now") ...it's just a stunning piece of writing. (
