The Time Traveler's Wife
Time Traveler's Wife. by Audrey Niffennegger. 2003 Reviewed by Patron Ali Dyche
This book is unique in the sense that it covers many genres at once. It is the story of a man who can travel through time due to a genetic twist, so it's sci-fi/fantasy right? Yet it also is about his wife and what she goes through and their enduring love, so it is as well, a romance. I kept finding myself laughing throughout the story at dating anecdotes and such, so, is it humor too? And was it drama that caused the tears to roll at just the right times? A truly all encompassing and well written novel. Cheers to Audrey Niffennegger and her debut!
