The Time Traveler's Wife, by Audrey Niffenegger
Phew. Finished and emotionally drained. I must say this is the most interesting and compelling novel I've read in far too long. Thanks, Audrey, for this imaginative and enlightened look on love, relationships and life. Plus, having already seen the movie, it was delightful to imagine Rachel McAdams in the title role and Eric Bana as Henry. Perfect.
This is the kind of story I'd wish to write: segmented and careful and closed. Just with less sex and language, is all. Had I read it before I was married, the treatment of sex and marriage would have messed with my mind a bit; so with that disclaimer, I cannot recommend it in good conscience to, say, our youth group girls. As for me, I was entertained, involved, and completely sold on the idea. Yes thank you more please!
