Henry and Clare meet, fall in love, and build a life together. Just not in that order.

Henry is a librarian who suffers from a rare condition where his genetic clock periodically resets, suddenly finding himself pulled through time into his past or future.

Meanwhile, Clare is an artist waiting all her life for her great love Henry to appear. In the face of this force neither can prevent nor control, Henry and Clare's struggle to lead normal lives is both intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.

The Time Traveler's Wife is the international bestselling novel of a time-altering love.
