The Time Traveler's Wife

De: Audrey Niffenegger

Narrado por: Fred Berman, Phoebe Strole

Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was 36. They were married when Clare was 23 and Henry was 31. 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 from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

Clare and Henry's story unfolds from both points of view, depicting the effects of time travel on their marriage and their passionate love for each other. They attempt to live normal lives, pursuing familiar goals: steady jobs, good friends, children of their own. All of this is threatened by something they can neither prevent nor control, making their story intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.

Reseñas de la Crítica

• Alex Award Winner, 2004

"Highly original first novel....Niffenegger has written a soaring love story illuminated by dozens of finely observed details and scenes....It is a fair tribute to her skill and sensibility to say that the book leaves a reader with the impression of life's riches and strangeness rather than of easy thrills." (Publishers Weekly)

Listen you should like

I love this book. Listen to it multiple times a year.
It's as good as the movie if not better.

good read, easy to follow even with time travel.

Narrators are very good. The story is easy to follow even with the time travel concept. Well written. I appreciate that the intimate scenes are not too descriptive. We are given just enough to use our imagination. I recommend this book if you're using it like I do. I have an hour drive to work and then an hour back home again. This book filled the time nicely.

Good Story, Irritating Narration

Any additional comments?

When reading the part of a young girl, the narrator uses a ridiculous parody of a child's voice. Please just read the part in a normal voice! We get that it's a kid already!!

My Favorite Bool

After finishing this book for the 2nd time, I have concluded this Is one of, if not the, best book I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. The story is detailed, funny, heartwarming, heartbreaking and endearing. The performances by both narrators are filled with energu and flawless. I cannot recommend this book enough.
