<< The Present | Return to archives | another review of The Right to Be Wrong by Kevin Seamus Hasson >>
Mom lent me a good book while we were in Texas over Christmas: The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger.
I'm a big fan of sci-fi and like time travel stories. This one is different.
THe narative structure is part of what makes it so fascinating--mom said she finished it and then went back to the beginning and read it again. Two intercut first person narratives. Jumps back and forth in time, a bit disorienting. Fortunately each section starts with a date and the current ages of the protagonists.
I don't want to say too much, but I liked the characters, found their dilemma to be novel and compelling. Good characterization. I cared about these people and was anxious to find out what happened next. One of those books I had a hard time putting down.
