When I first sent my eyes upon the book I didn’t know what to expect and it took my a while to get the courage to open and read it, but I was in for a treat. This book is great and I like Audrey Niffenegger’s prose.

This is more than a fantastic book where this man travels through past and future, this is a book about love and consequences. The time traveler's wife is a beautiful portrait of human life and the desperate act of living normal when things don’t go as planned.

Henry suffers from a illness called chrono-impairment which makes him a time traveler. He meets Claire when he’s around the age of 40 and she is only a child. At the beginning of the story though, we meet Claire when she’s 20 and Henry is 28, he’s working at the museum and he doesn’t have (yet) any memory of Claire, the woman that he will love and marry. This scene is very well crafted and immediately we fall into the maze of realities: past, present and future, all happened and happening.

Audrey knows how to give her characters life and make them into real people, with real problems into this fantastical context of time traveling. It’s both comical and tragical, a story that balances perfectly into this tangled mess of tenses. She writes and she writes well about characters that we care, about lives that are incoherently searching for some sort of normalcy.

I loved it and I recommend this dark, funny and twisted story; it’s a great read!
