    <![CDATA[Audrey Niffenegger's innovative debut, <strong>The Time Traveler's Wife</strong>, 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/><strong>The Time Traveler&#8217;s Wife</strong><em> </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.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I'd like to give this book four stars, since I liked the beginning so much, but I have a poor memory, so the second half is what's in my mind now and I didn't like it.  I remember reading the first half of the book and thinking what a *great* book this is!  I was excited.  But then the second half w...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24646545">more...</a>]]></body>
