TheTime Traveler 's Wife is about a man named Henry DeTamble that has a genetic disorder that causes him to time-travel spontaneously. Henry cannot choose to where or when he travels, but often the places and times he goes have a certain level of emotional poignancy to him. Clare is the time traveler 's wife and titular character. Clare meets Henry when she is 6 and he is 36, and Henry first meets Clare when she is 20 and he is 28. As Henry ages, he visits Clare at different points in her childhood. That 's all that I 'm going to say about the plot of The Time Traveler 's Wife. I don 't wish to deprive anyone interested in the book or movie of any enjoyment. The novel is told in mostly chronological order, from our perspective. The Time Traveler 's Wife can be confusing due to multiple leaps in time and space. A character might know something that, a few pages later, he or she no longer knows. It 's difficult. I recommend this book only to patient readers, because it requires the ability to go back and reference past (or future) events, and the story does drag at some points. The Time Traveler 's Wife is fairly long, as well, at almost 600 pages. The story is captivating though, though tragic. Throughout The Time Traveler 's Wife are themes of loss, longing, waiting, determinism, and fatalism. It 's impossible for Henry and Clare to have a "normal" relationship due to Henry 's time-traveling - as is often noted in the book, Clare never had a chance at a "normal" life. At its heart, The Time Traveler 's Wife is a love story. In some ways, The Time Traveler 's Wife is cliched. Clare is the wife that waits patiently for her husband to return. Direct mythological references to Penelope and Odysseus are made. Despite the fact that the story feels very familiar, it is still engaging and interesting, due to the

1. The point I find to be the most crucial to the plot in Chapter 1 is the Buchanan’s blatant unhappiness. Tom is obviously unhappy in his married life because, not only is he restless in the sense that he moves frequently, but he also is having an open affair. Daisy is also obviously unhappy because of the way she so readily opened up to Nick, whom she did not know well despite their familial relation, and in the way she interacted with Tom. Even if I had not read this story before, I would have picked up on the fact that this singular point would be a catalyst to the rest of the plot.
