Why oh why did I keep reading this book? I made it half way through before I decided I couldn't/shouldn't/wouldn't keep reading. The first time the F word was used I should have just closed the book but I didn't because I was enjoying the story. I'd seen the movie and was enjoying the greater details contained in the book.

The Time Traveler's Wife is about marriage and what it means to be constantly waiting for someone. Henry is a time traveler and Claire is the woman who loves him. Henry cannot control when or where he travels. Claire sometimes will wait week for Henry to come back; yet she constantly yearning to be with him. The tale is told beautifully as we navigate between Henry and Clair's stories.
