About this listen

Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was 36. They were married when Clare was 23 and Henry was 31. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

Clare and Henry's story unfolds from both points of view, depicting the effects of time travel on their marriage and their passionate love for each other. They attempt to live normal lives, pursuing familiar goals: steady jobs, good friends, children of their own. All of this is threatened by something they can neither prevent nor control, making their story intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.

Critic Reviews

  • Alex Award Winner, 2004

"Highly original first novel....Niffenegger has written a soaring love story illuminated by dozens of finely observed details and scenes....It is a fair tribute to her skill and sensibility to say that the book leaves a reader with the impression of life's riches and strangeness rather than of easy thrills." (Publishers Weekly)

A true love story

I loved reading this book, but to hear it was even better. You fall in love with the two main characters, and the fact that a female and a male voice is used here really brings it all to life.

Amazing Story!

Loved this science friction + Romance story!

One of the best story. If you are hesitant to start this audiobook… don’t, you will enjoy every bit of it!
Narration was too good. It felt as though I am the character in the story and it is happening to me.
Thanks to the author for creating such an amazing story.

Amazing story, good narration except for French

loved the story, I had started it as a teenager but left midway...picked it up again recently and was hooked. the narration was beautiful too except for the parts in French which were unfortunately way off the mark.
