The Time Traveler's Wife
Henry DeTamble has a genetic disorder that involuntarily displaces him through time, often sending him naked and unprepared into moments connected to his own life. Artist Clare Abshire first meets an older Henry during her childhood, while the Henry in ordinary chronology does not meet her until he is a young librarian. Their marriage must absorb unpredictable absences, foreknowledge, infertility, danger, and the strange imbalance of loving someone whose history with you begins at a different point. Inventive and melancholy, this romance suits readers who enjoy nonlinear narratives, fated relationships, Chicago settings, and emotionally intense stories about how time can deepen intimacy while repeatedly taking control away from the people living it.
