《時間旅行者的妻子》是一個新穎的故事,它涉及到三個層面的連動:引人入勝的科幻概念、栩栩如生的人物刻畫,以及感人至深的愛情。全書交織貫穿了亨利和克萊爾不同角度的視野和敘述,傳神地表達出克萊爾那種總是被丟下后的思念,那種不尋常的生活方式,以及她對亨利超乎一切的愛;還有這個永遠不知道自己下一刻將身在何方的男人,他的恐懼,和他對來之不易的愛情的感激之意。

I've known Henry since I was six years old. I remember the first day we met.
I travel through time. In fact, you and I are friends in the future when you are a lady.
There's no such thing as time traveler.
But if you hang around long enough, you'll see me disappear.
One second he was there, and the next, he was gone.
I've been waiting for Henry my entire life.
It's you.
I wrote down every time you came to visit me. You told me that you go back to the same places a lot.
Yes, like gravity, big events, pull you in.
I was a big event.
Is it too weird?
No, it's kind of magical.
I don't feel alone any more.
Will you marry me?
No. I didn't mean that. Yeah, of course.
We named her Alba.
You met her?
She is so beautiful.
Daddy.
I travel through time. I can't control it. It just happens. I wish it didn't.
You're back?
Did I miss Christmas?
What do you want to talk about?
How bad it feels to sit here wait for you?
What's wrong with me wanting one normal thing in my life?
You think that I wanted this life? This husband that disappears? Who would want that?
You have a choice.
I never had a choice.
I don't want you to spend your life waiting.
Henry.
I wouldn't change one second of our life together.
I can't stay.
I know.
