The Time Traveler's Wife

Not knowing how to spend my last possible leisure night before I get busy with SOS Earth publicity execution, I tuned to YouTube, looking for some movie trailers that might intrigue my interest. And I got it.

The Time Traveler's Wife

I can hear a ring in my tiny brain. The title seem familiar, as if I have heard of the story. I browsed my bookshelf. I am speechless toward myself, I have the novel. It was still nicely wrapped with plastic and been there since last few months. Gosh...I am such a terrible person.

I found some other novels that I haven't read or 'touch' yet. Hahaha...I guess I must stop myself from buying any more novels until I have finished all of those in my bookself, around 10 of them??(I am guessing more)

Anyway, I recalled why I bought the book, well, it was sold for 50% cheaper, how am I supposed to resist it? And of course, because of the title - The Time Traveler's Wife.


Time is always ahead of me, and I never seem to be able to fully utilize my time. I am one second older every now and then. No rewind, no fast forward, no pause...beyond our control. Wouldn't it be amazing if I can beat the time? :)

Will start reading this book right after The Sleeping Doll by Jeffery Deaver!

The synopsis

The Time Traveler's Wife is the love story of Henry and Clare DeTamble, a young married couple living in Chicago. Their lives together are complicated by a mystifying and exasperating genetic condition that causes Henry to involuntarily time travel. While Clare is left wondering if the man she always knew she would marry is safe from harm, Henry is taken on journies that are unpredictable, and alternately harrowing and amusing. While Henry strains to live as normal a life as he can, pursuing goals that will be familiar to most — a steady job, love, good friends, children of his own — Clare has always known that their love was pre-destined, having already met Henry as a young girl when he would time travel from their present to her past before they met.

Their bizarre life and the challenges they face are the same burdens that ultimately we all must deal with the inability to have control over their lives. However, what Henry's affliction does provide them is a glimpse to their final hours and to the novel's breathtaking ending. The Time Traveler's Wife is a story about adoration, separation, and ultimately about how time defines so much in our lives.
