About this listen

 Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was 36. They were married when Clare was 23 and Henry was 31. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

Clare and Henry's story unfolds from both points of view, depicting the effects of time travel on their marriage and their passionate love for each other. They attempt to live normal lives, pursuing familiar goals: steady jobs, good friends, children of their own. All of this is threatened by something they can neither prevent nor control, making their story intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.

Critic Reviews

  • Alex Award Winner, 2004

"Highly original first novel....Niffenegger has written a soaring love story illuminated by dozens of finely observed details and scenes....It is a fair tribute to her skill and sensibility to say that the book leaves a reader with the impression of life's riches and strangeness rather than of easy thrills." (Publishers Weekly)

One of the best story. If you are hesitant to start this audiobook… don’t, you will enjoy every bit of it!
Narration was too good. It felt as though I am the character in the story and it is happening to me.

Having seen the movie a long time ago, I was intrigued how would the book fare. Yes it is detailed and would have been a bit arduous to follow with its shifting time plots, but listening the audiobook made it so much easier. I wanted to like the male protagonist, but there was something unsettling when he met the young Clare and the way he interacted, as if he was grooming her. Also, she seemed so inexperienced and so resolute in her love choice- I was very disconnected with that aspect. I wish the author had let her explore few more love experiences before making up her mind. I wasn't moved to tears at the poignant parts of the story, so maybe it didn't touch the right cord with me. Its definitely a twisted plot and a unique story.

A complicated relationship and a sci fi theme
