The Time Traveler's Wife

Henry and Clare are soul-mates; they meet when Clare is just a girl and Henry is in his 30's, and then again, when Clare is 21 and Henry is 28. How is this possible?? It's possible because Henry has a genetic condition which causes him to travel through time. He has no control over when he leaves the present, no control over what time period he ends up in, and no control over when he returns. The only constant is that he does travel, mostly to the past. The novel tells the story of their relationship from the beginning of Clare's life through the end. The reader has the opportunity to read the story from Clare's point of view at times, and then from Henry's point of view at times.

When I first found out the premise of the book, I wasn't interested in it at all. I'm not a huge sci-fi fan, and do not like stories that seem impossible, however Henry and Clare's love story is oddly believable and very touching. I absolutely loved this book; I found it hard to put down.
