Book Club ABOUT THE BOOK

The Time Traveler’s Wife is an extraordinary, magical first novel. It is not a science fiction novel, but the ultimate love story.

As Audrey herself says, ‘It’s not about time travel. It’s about love and separation and how time determines so much about our lives’. It is the story of Clare and Henry. They’ve known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-two and Henry thirty.

Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity in his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

This story is intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.

Book Club ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Audrey Niffenegger is in her thirties. An artist and writer she lives in Chicago and teaches full-time at the Columbia College Chicago Centre for Book and Paper Arts. She makes visual novels, paintings, prints and photographs.

The Time Traveler’s Wife is an internationally bestselling novel which caused a sensation on publication in the US where it has been in the New York Times bestseller lists for over 20 weeks.

Audrey Niffenegger is an amazingly original and talented writer who depicts the effects of time travel on her protagonists’ lives with immense skill and pathos. Her sense of style is both sensational and unique.

NATIONAL LIBRARY FOR THE BLIND NLB

Imagine not being able to get hold of the book all your friends are saying you must read. Newspapers, magazines and TV shows are telling you it’s one of the best books they’ve ever read, but you can’t read it, let alone express your views or vote for it.

Thankfully that is not the case with Richard & Judy’s Best Read! Once again, the National Library for the Blind (NLB) has worked closely alongside Richard & Judy to make sure blind people can take part in the Best Read and is producing the short-listed books in Braille to sit alongside each book club programme.
