A Different Type of Time Travel Story - The Time Traveler's Wife

My wife and I are reading a book together right now. It's about this guy who travels through time against his will. That part in itself sounds like a lot of other time travel stories. There have been TV shows on a similar theme. Quantum Leap and the new show Journeyman to name just a few. But, this story is a little different. The time traveller, Henry, travels through time because of a medical condition.

Henry and his wife met each other for the first time at two different times. Yes, you read that correctly. When Henry first met Claire as a young adult, Claire had already met an older Henry when she was younger. And, by the time the young Henry meets Claire, Claire already knows a lot about Henry. They have been friends for years, and yet, he just met her. This book has some interesting time paradoxes. It's a fun read.

The back cover says that this is the first book by the author, Audrey Niffenegger. The title of the book is The Time Traveler's Wife. Check it out. It's a good read.
