“A soaring celebration of the victory of love over time.” —Chicago Tribune The iconic time travel love story and beloved modern classic that has captivated readers worldwide. Henry DeTamble is a dashing, adventurous librarian who travels involuntarily through time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. Clare Abshire is an artist whose life moves through a natural sequential course. This is the celebrated and timeless tale of their love. Henry and Clare's passionate affair is built and 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. “Niffenegger plays ingeniously in her temporal hall of mirrors.”—The New Yorker “A magical experience from start to finish.” –Elle Don’t miss LIFE OUT OF ORDER, the dazzling, high-stakes follow-up about Henry and Clare’s time-traveling daughter, Alba.
