It’s a story about a boy meets girl.
She’s known him since she was six and he was three decades older. He met her in
his twenties, and she’s already an adult then. Henry DeTamble is a time
traveler. A genetic anomaly causes him to travel through time, leaving
everything not organically part of his body behind. Although Henry usually
views this as a curse, traveling to Clare is the one day in a thousand that it
might not be so bad. It’s a great story that uses the time traveling as a
backdrop and a metaphor for both long distance relationships and communication
between couples. Niffenegger explores the nature of love and the trials of
making relationships work.
