The Time Traveler’s Wife, by Audrey Niffenegger

Picture
Clare has known the man who will become her husband since she was six years old.  Henry was 36 at the time, but he won’t meet her for the first time until he’s 28 and she’s 20.  This is possible because Henry has a condition that causes him to randomly travel through time, going to wheres and whens beyond his control.  A relationship is hard to maintain when one person is conspicuously absent from important times and places, but Clare knows that it’s going to work, because it did work, in the future.  The story follows Clare's life from childhood to adulthood and describes Henry and Clare's meetings and courtship and attempts (successful and failed) to be a normal couple.

This book is a feat of planning by the author, with all of Henry’s trips to the future and the past coming together perfectly to make a full life.  It is also a tearjerker in disguise, so bring some tissues for the ending.  If you’re interested in love stories with a twist or in the realities of time travel or in books that are absolutely fascinating, you should definitely check this one out.
