On my bookshelf

The Time Traveller's Wife :: Audrey Niffengger
I don't know why I took so long to get this book. When it first came out, everyone was raving about it but I stubbornly refused to buy into the hype. Many months later, I succumbed and you know what? I love it. An unusual love story of absence and longing, with a dash of sci-fi (the time travelling bit) and two of my favourite characters to date: Henry DeTamble and Clare Abshire. I was hooked by page 20 but deliberately went slow so as to savour every page. The end is almost heart-breaking and I closed it with a sigh. This book is definitely a re-read.
