The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

Due to mis-shelving on my part, I read this book as part of the A to Ce trek.

This is one of Maureen's books.

The Time Travelers Wife (not to be confused with a movie of the same name) is a well written easy read. A unique and well executed premise with well thought out consequences, fully drawn characters - this book has it all.

The premise is original and the author does a great job of thinking out all of the mechanics of it and finds several very interesting scenes from it. The writing is so breezy that it is an enjoyable journey through time. The novel progresses almost totally linearly in calendar time which isn't totally linear for the characters. This creates a Pulp Fiction type out sequence story line which keeps things extra interesting.

My only complaint that it is a little too long. It could be wound a little tighter.

I may always recall reading this book on the beach at Rehobeth Beach Delaware.
