I barely believed the person who told me this was Niffenegger's first novel. It is well-written and concise, while still being an enchanting love story.
The aptly named The Time Traveler's Wife is about a time traveler, Henry, and his wife, Clare, and their romance that spans most of their lives. The book opens when the two meet in the present and continues through vignettes of their time together as Henry travels, uncontrollably, through time.
The Time Traveler's Wife was great when read in longer chunks, but also good when I snuck in individual chapters and vignettes at work or on the subway. Even so, the book is captivating enough that I rarely wanted to put it down after only a few pages. Recommended for anytime, anywhere.
