Riassunto

The beloved, mega bestselling first novel from Audrey Niffenegger, “a soaring celebration of the victory of love over time” (Chicago Tribune).

A MOST UNTRADITIONAL LOVE STORY, this is the celebrated tale of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who inadvertently travels through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and Clare’s passionate affair endures across a sea of time and captures them in an impossibly romantic trap that tests the strength of fate and basks in the bonds of love.

Recensione:

“[A] time-travel love story par excellence...It will be a hard-hearted reader who is not moved to tears by the dangers Henry and Clare ultimately face, and by the author’s soaring celebration of the victory of love over time.” (Chicago Tribune)

“As Clare and Henry take turns telling the story, revealing the depth of their bond despite everything a sci-fi premise becomes a powerfully original love story.” (People (Top Ten Books of the Year))

“Spirited...Niffenegger plays ingeniously in her temporal hall of mirrors.” (The New Yorker)

“Readers will recall in Love in the Time of Cholera a love that works despite all travails and impediments...Marquez, like Niffenegger here, means to tell us that for such exalted love there is no tragedy and never any constraints.” (The Washington Post Book World)

“Niffenegger’s inventive and poignant writing is well worth a trip.” (Entertainment Weekly)

“Moving, razor-edged prose...Niffenegger writes with the unflinching yet detached clarity of a war correspondent standing at the sidelines of an unfolding battle.” (USA Today)

“A singular tale of a charming man with a funny condition (he slips in and out of time) and the woman who loves him. The setting, the city of Chicago, is luminous.” (San Francisco Chronicle)

“As if love weren’t complicated enough, debut author Niffenegger dreams up a happy couple plagued by a peculiar problem...It is to Niffenegger’s credit that she avoids cheap shots and develops her innovative concept in some exceptionally strange and witty ways.” (Time Out New York)

“Contrary to appearances, The Time Traveler’s Wife is a very old love story: wonky, sexy, incredible...charmingly, inventively retold and none the worse for it.” (The Times (London))

“An extraordinary novel with a unique premise...Niffenegger compassionately develops her unique characters, with the grace to accept their difficult circumstances, as well as their blessings. Don’t be deceived by the easy charm of Henry and Clare’s relationship; they will draw you into their small circle, make you complicit with their dreams and disappointments. They will break your heart.” (Curledup.com)
