“Moving, but worth the heartbreak”

Moving, but worth the heartbreak Daily Express
At its core The Time Traveler's Wife is an old-fashioned love story. A terrific book - startlingly original construction Observer
I was ridiculously entranced by Audrey Niffenegger's big, reckless novel...utterly convincing Daily Telegraph
Niffenegger exploits the possibilities of her fantasy scenario with immense skill: no wonder this novel has spent weeks on the bestseller lists in the US. This is one of those books that makes you want to eat it up from start to finish Guardian
Wonky, sexy, incredible The Times

Truly original Vogue
Magical - memorable...poignant, amusing and intensely moving portrait of a unique relationship - quirky, romantic, and kept the right side of cute Mail on Sunday
The central story is so strong and touching...ingenious... A rare book Evening Standard
A sweet, original fantasy - its flights of authorial fancy balanced by down-to-earth characters and the matter-of-fact language Sunday Telegraph
Henry's journeys back and forth are by turns slapstick noir and unbearably poignant, and Clare's child and teen narrations disturbingly pitch-perfect. Philosophical speculation occurs in the most unlikely devices and morality, despite the temptations of plot, remains intact. This is alarmingly close to perfection, and balm to the jaded Scotland on Sunday
One of those books where you read the first paragraph and you're hooked... Unmissable Irish Independent
From the first page to the last, The Time Traveler's Wife works its unique magic... A beautiful, lyrical book The Times
