  <description><![CDATA[This extraordinary, magical novel is the story of Clare and Henry who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, 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 pulled suddenly into his past or future. His disappearances are spontaneous and his experiences are alternately harrowing and amusing. The Time Traveler's Wife depicts the effects of time travel on Henry and Clare's passionate love for each other with grace and humour. Their struggle to lead normal lives in the face of a force they can neither prevent nor control is intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Audrey Niffenegger's innovative debut, <em>The Time Traveler's Wife</em>, is the story of Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, an adventuresome librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-three and Henry thirty-one. Impossible but true, because Henry finds himself periodically displaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.<br/><br/><em>The Time Traveler's Wife</em> depicts the effects of time travel on Henry and Clare's marriage and their passionate love for each other, as the story unfolds from both points of view. Clare and Henry attempt to live normal lives, pursuing familiar goals - steady jobs, good friends, children of their own. All of this is threatened by something they can neither prevent nor control, making their story intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;A dazzling novel in the most untraditional fashion, this is the remarkable story of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who travels involuntarily through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and Clare's passionate love affair endures across a sea of time and captures the two lovers in an impossibly romantic trap, and it is Audrey Niffenegger's cinematic storytelling that makes the novel's unconventional chronology so vibrantly triumphant.   <br/><br/>An enchanting debut and a spellbinding tale of fate and belief in the bonds of love, The Time Traveler's Wife is destined to captivate readers for years to come. <br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[Audrey Niffenegger's innovative debut, <em>The Time Traveler's Wife</em>, is the story of Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, an adventuresome librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-three and Henry thirty-one. Impossible but true, because Henry finds himself periodically displaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.<br/><br/><em>The Time Traveler's Wife</em> depicts the effects of time travel on Henry and Clare's marriage and their passionate love for each other, as the story unfolds from both points of view. Clare and Henry attempt to live normal lives, pursuing familiar goals - steady jobs, good friends, children of their own. All of this is threatened by something they can neither prevent nor control, making their story intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.]]>

Henry and Clare's passionate love affair endures across a sea of time and captures the two lovers in an impossibly romantic trap, and it is Audrey Niffenegger's cinematic storytelling that makes the novel's unconventional chronology so vibrantly triumphant.   <br/><br/>An enchanting debut and a spellbinding tale of fate and belief in the bonds of love, The Time Traveler's Wife is destined to captivate readers for years to come.]]>

    <![CDATA[Audrey Niffenegger's innovative debut, <em>The Time Traveler's Wife</em>, is the story of Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, an adventuresome librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-three and Henry thirty-one. Impossible but true, because Henry finds himself periodically displaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.<br/><br/><em>The Time Traveler's Wife</em> depicts the effects of time travel on Henry and Clare's marriage and their passionate love for each other, as the story unfolds from both points of view. Clare and Henry attempt to live normal lives, pursuing familiar goals - steady jobs, good friends, children of their own. All of this is threatened by something they can neither prevent nor control, making their story intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;A dazzling novel in the most untraditional fashion, this is the remarkable story of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who travels involuntarily through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and Clare's passionate love affair endures across a sea of time and captures the two lovers in an impossibly romantic trap, and it is Audrey Niffenegger's cinematic storytelling that makes the novel's unconventional chronology so vibrantly triumphant.   <br/><br/>An enchanting debut and a spellbinding tale of fate and belief in the bonds of love, The Time Traveler's Wife is destined to captivate readers for years to come. <br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[Henry De Tamble memiliki &quot;kemampuan&quot; menjelajahi waktu. Ia bisa tiba - tiba menghilang dan muncul di tempat yang tak dikenalinya sepuluh tahun yang lalu atau yang akan datang.<br/><br/>Saat berpindah - pindah waktu inilah ia bertemu Clare Abshire, anak perempuan yang tinggal di Michigan, dan terjadilah kisah cinta yang indah hingga ajal memisahkan mereka.<br/><br/>Masalah timbul, karena saat usia Henry maju - mundur sesuai lokasinya di dalam waktu, usia Clare bertambah terus dengan normal.<br/><br/>Tapi Audrey Niffenegger menulis para tokoh dalam buku ini dengan cara yang begitu lembut dan halus sehingga buku ini bukan sekadar kisah cinta biasa. Berkat keahlian dan sensibilitasnyalah para pembaca akan bisa menangkap keindahan dan keanehan dalam hidup, bukan cuma gejolak - gejolaknya.]]>
