"The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger

"The Time Traveler's Wife" is a sweet, sweeping, unique love story. Ms. Niffenegger gives us Henry, who travels around in time, and the absolute love of his life, Clare. This courtship is a quirky, mixed-up-in-time roller coaster in which Henry travels back in time and meets Clare when she's a little girl. This visitation happens several times, and Clare, little darling that she is, learns to bring clothes out for this man who meets her in her back yard, yet must hide in the bushes because he always loses his clothes in time travel.

Henry bounces around, to say the least, but the one constant in his life is Clare, who, even as a little girl, starts Henry on the straight and narrow path to righteous spousehood. This is an extremely imaginative way of establishing the timeless nature of love; Henry's dedication survives him, clearly.

The praise this wonderful novel has received has all been deserved. It is a very memorable read, the characters and events will stay with you, to your delight. Don't delay any longer if you haven't read it yet.
