The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger has got to be one of my favorite books of all time. Though the summary may seem a little sci-fi, the book is actually about feelings and emotions, chance, love, and the unknown.
Henry DeTamble is a man afflicted with a strange illness. He is constantly thrown through time at the whim of fate. Luckily, he is often sent to moments in a special girl's life. Her name is Clare Abshire. The first time they meet, she is 6 years old and he is 34. Eventually, Clare grows up and they fall in love.
But time traveling has it's risks. Henry cannot bring anything with him when he time travels and he often has to resort to petty thefts and crimes to survive as well as sustain various injuries brought about by his genetic malady. Often times, Clare never knows where he is or when he will return.
The movie is set to come out on August 14 of this year with Eric Bana playing Henry DeTamble to Rachel McAdam's Clare Abshire. I am keeping my fingers crossed as I truly, truly hope this is one movie that can live up to the book.
