It is rare that that a book can make me cry, but with this one i sobbed my heart out. Not only is it a twisted version of a love story but the intense lust for eachother just makes it so much worse when you come to the ending of this heartbreakingly beautiful story that is called The Time Travelers Wife.
As i read all about Henrys desire for his future wife Clare I was touched by the tenderness with which Niffenegger wove the protagonists' lives. The book is more than just a romance but a story that completely flirts with your senses and emotions. Although it may come across simple but throughout the book it is so easy to get lost due to the changing of times and figuring out the different between past present and future which may take a couple of looking over to get it but it is so worth the time to understand.
Anyway Henry first meets clare when she is 6 years of age when he is 36 and yes the title clearly gives away that he is the time traveler but not in the cool doctor who kind of way where you pick a time and place whenever you like Henry dosen't have that option and it just happens and time any place and he is gone back or forward into time. And he never ends up the most prettiest with ending up naked infront of his 6 year old wife to be doesn't sound at all perfect.
From then on little meetings and arranged times and dates to have clothes left for him the bond grew between them and soon enough they met in the present. and how much i would love to say they got married had several kids and lived happily ever after... its not going to happen. You can really see the strain that the time traveling puts on their relationship but i won't give away anymore. But will say it is a must read for everyone that is into the whole heartthrobbing storys but a word to the wise keep some tissues by your side
