The Time Traveler's Wife

If you could defy time and visit snippets of your past and future as your current self, would you ?
It’s not exactly a choice for Henry DeTamble, the protagonist of The Time Traveler's Wife

Henry’s genetic condition makes him vanish involuntarily from the present and lands him into his past or future, unaware, in only his birthday suit. His time-travel episodes are filled with adventure, lies and heartache. Because even though he can defy time, he can’t change it

Though a far-fetched fantasy, Audrey Niffeneger, the author, has painted extremely realistic, believable characters, and the book makes a light, pacy read. Through the pages, the characters become so interwoven with the reader, so life-like, that it’s hard to disentangle and let the story take its disturbing course

A delectable book throught each of its 518 pages, for the hopeless romantics, for the believers in soul mates, and mostly, for everyone willing to flex their imagination just a little wild
