Audrey Niffenegger did it. She wrote my newest favorite novel, a novel I long to read again and again to discover more treasures and greater understanding with each review.
The Time Traveler's Wife was a book club selection for my reading pals and I and I was so thankful to have a group to discuss it with as it brought forth questions, concerns, tears and interest into realms I'd never even considered. I'm not one to ponder time travel on a regular basis, but Niffenegger managed to build a book based on a long sought after scientific thought that beautifully molded together love, distance, longing, family and even ethics into a portrait that crossed all boundaries of time and space.
The author's eloquent chapters sweep the reader along on visits to the future and the past. The reader rises and falls with the hopes of creating a family and learning to love through time and knowing although we seem to think we have complete control of our futures, we can't change the past where our futures were written.
I recommend this book to anyone, but especially to someone looking for a little romance, someone looking to get a little lost in time, and someone not afraid to cry openly while turning the pages of what will be a book passed along to friends in the years to come.
