The Time Traveler's Wife

for today: Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveler's Wife. Beautiful romance that KRB adores and i enjoyed thoroughly, even if it's not quite as high on my list as hers. it is a gorgeous piece of writing and a highly original tale of enduring love, despite a rather odd situation. Henry De Tamble is a librarian at the Newberry in Chicago who finds himself jumping in and out of time, without any say in the matter. He meets and falls in love with Clare, and while she continues forward in normal time, he is often out of sync and thus with extra knowledge or lack of information about what is going on. i don't remember why it was that i didn't adore this book as much as i'd hoped - probably expectations set too early - but it is a wonderful lazy afternoon read. despite the premise, don't worry about it being all sci-fi - Henry and Clare are too wonderful to worry about that.
