"The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger

When I saw the movie trailer of the "Time Traveler's Wife", I never thought that this motion picture is an adaptation of the best selling novel by Audrey Niffenegger.

I was confused then and amazed at the same time as to why the husband of the character suddenly disappeared from sight. I can remember when I was sitting and patiently waiting in the movie theater for the "Angels and Demons" movie to start showing, after a series of movie trailers. One of the trailers was this "Time Traveler's Wife". That time I saw one scene where the character is passionately kissing with his husband on the meadows, when suddenly he glowed and slowly vanished. Now that exact scene stirred some curiosity in my mind to research more on this enticing story.

From Booklist

On the surface, Henry and Clare Detamble are a normal couple living in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. Henry works at the Newberry Library and Clare creates abstract paper art, but the cruel reality is that Henry is a prisoner of time. It sweeps him back and forth at its leisure, from the present to the past, with no regard for where he is or what he is doing. It drops him naked and vulnerable into another decade, wearing an age-appropriate face. In fact, it's not unusual for Henry to run into the other Henry and help him out of a jam. Sound unusual? Imagine Clare Detamble's astonishment at seeing Henry dropped stark naked into her parents' meadow when she was only six. Though, of course, until she came of age, Henry was always the perfect gentleman and gave young Clare nothing but his friendship as he dropped in and out of her life. It's no wonder that the film rights to this hip and urban love story have been acquired. Elsa Gaztambide
