Perhaps not the most literary of books, but it manages to deliver the pleasure of reading something original,meticulously constructed and rife with metaphor. (  ) SwatiRavi | Jun 27, 2022 |  Loved this exploration of timeless love. (  ) MrsLee | Jun 20, 2022 | Meh....thought about quitting several times and finally did at 70% thru. Should have done so much earlier. (  )1  |  kbreader | May 2, 2022 | Wow. I LOVED this book. This book is about love, devotion, heartbreak, families, and life. Clare is so in love with Henry and knows her future is with him. Henry is a bit of a rogue in his younger years but his relationship with Clare develops him into the man she met when she was six. I HIGHLY recommend this book to others. It is fantastic! (  ) KyleneJones | Apr 25, 2022 | Sad and intelligent. A chance to delve into a relationship, one meeting at a time. Bittersweet.

 The triumph of the book is the triumph of normality, of setting up a decent family life even if you are constantly dissappearing from it, of being loyal to somebody with what Niffenegger finally explains as a genetic dysfunction - chrono-displacement, as she calls it.  "The Time Traveler's Wife" can be an exasperating read, but as a love story it has its appeal: Refreshingly, the novel portrays long-term commitment as something lively and exuberant rather than dutiful and staid, evoking both the comforts it brings us and the tribulations we learn to live with.  Niffenegger, despite her moving, razor-edged prose, doesn't claim to be a romantic. She writes with the unflinching yet detached clarity of a war correspondent standing at the sidelines of an unfolding battle. She possesses a historian's eye for contextual detail. This is no romantic idyll. About halfway through Audrey Niffenegger's debut novel, The Time Traveler's Wife, you realize you're going to be devastated. You love the characters, you're deeply involved in their lives, you can sense tragedy coming and you know it's going to hurt. But there's no way you can stop reading... Niffenegger structures the novel clearly enough that the timelines never get tangled, and her writing is so strong you'd keep going even if you did get confused.

The story of Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, a librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty, and were married when Clare was twenty-two and Henry thirty. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity in his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
