I really, really enjoyed this book and I would've rated it with 5 stars if it wasn't so confusing in the beginning. I've seen the movie after I read it and was a bit disappointed with it, since the book is huge and so descriptive and the movie wasn't. Anyway, I loved this book and really admire Clare's character. She is a passionate, kind woman and so, so brave. I don't think many would endure to be in her position. Thank you Audrey, for writing something this intelligent and entertaining. :)
The triumph of the book is the triumph of normality, of setting up a decent family life even if you are constantly dissappearing from it, of being loyal to somebody with what Niffenegger finally explains as a genetic dysfunction - chrono-displacement, as she calls it. "The Time Traveler's Wife" can be an exasperating read, but as a love story it has its appeal: Refreshingly, the novel portrays long-term commitment as something lively and exuberant rather than dutiful and staid, evoking both the comforts it brings us and the tribulations we learn to live with. Niffenegger, despite her moving, razor-edged prose, doesn't claim to be a romantic. She writes with the unflinching yet detached clarity of a war correspondent standing at the sidelines of an unfolding battle. She possesses a historian's eye for contextual detail. This is no romantic idyll. About halfway through Audrey Niffenegger's debut novel, The Time Traveler's Wife, you realize you're going to be devastated. You love the characters, you're deeply involved in their lives, you can sense tragedy coming and you know it's going to hurt. But there's no way you can stop reading... Niffenegger structures the novel clearly enough that the timelines never get tangled, and her writing is so strong you'd keep going even if you did get confused.

Clare and Henry, deeply in love, try desperately to maintain normal lives even though he has been diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder, a condition in which his genetic clock periodically resets, pulling him through time to the past or future.

Foi impossível não me compadecer de Henry e de Claire, por motivos distintos. De Henry, porque viajar no tempo não era algo que desejasse e também não era algo que pudesse controlar, e porque revivia situações extremamente penosas sem puder fazer nada para as alterar... De Claire pelo sofrimento que cada uma das ausências de Henry lhe causavam, por nunca saber por quanto tempo Henry estaria ausente ou sequer se regressaria...
A autora foi exímia a unir os pontos, no sentido em que situações que tinham ficado por explicar acabaram por ser explicadas à medida que a narrativa avançava (ainda que a resolução pudesse ter sido resolvida no passado...), mas algumas situações nunca foram explicadas, com muita pena minha.
É um livro que deve ser lido com bastante atenção e com alguma continuidade para que determinados pormenores não nos passem despercebidos e para que as ligações entre passado e presente façam sentido. (
