The Time Traveler’s Wife


Due to a genetic disorder, Henry DeTamble reacts to stress by jumping to important and unimportant moments of his life, including many visits to his once and future wife.

To me, the story owes a lot to one of F.M. Busby's stories (“If This Is Winnetka, You Must Be Judy”)—a debt that Niffenegger might be acknowledging in the quote below.
Could I? Do I have kids, Henry? In 2006 do I have a husband and a house in Winnetka and 2.5 kids?

The Time Traveler’s Wife


I thought the book suffered from not exploring the consequences of Henry’s travel on free will and determinism, but the movie was even shallower.

I watched this one with Harry on my short visit to Scotland in the summer of 2010. —Michael Main
And after she gives him the blanket she happens to be carrying, he explains to her that he’s a time traveler. Now, for some reason I’ll never understand, she believes him.
