Hello everyone and welcome to August. For this month I have chosen to read The Time Travelers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger.
Here is the synopsis:
The Time Traveler’s Wife, 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 is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity in his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.
The Time Traveler’s Wife 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.
I have chosen this book for two reasons. I think it is one that can attract a lot of feed back and a lot of different views. Second because the movie is being released on the 14th of this month. I thought it would be fun to also comment on how you felt about the movie and the differences between the movie and the book. I mean lets face it there are always differences between the book and the movies. Lets see how this one pans out. I cant wait to see it!
