The Time Traveller’s Wife

One of the show to catch this season. The other is Coco before Chanel for obvious reasons ;).

The Time Traveller’s Wife is a romantic story entailing a time traveller (Henry) and his wife (Clare). And it’ll surely wring the tears out of you - even out of the boys.

The story is refreshing, and is just a delight to read.

Henry travels through time and lands at unexpected places, but he is usually drawn to a place that is important to him. He is never able to control this genetic disorder of his, and he comes and goes without warning. He gets into a lot of hassle because of this reason, but he never manages to stay for long to be in trouble.

Clare is Henry’s wife. She met Henry when she was only 6. And him? In his late thirties. Since their first meeting, Clare develops feelings for Henry and only dreams of marrying him one day.

Fast forward a few years later, and many meetings in between, Clare finally meets Henry and marries him eventually. They have a child together, who shares the same genetic disorder as Henry. She is also a time traveller, but a prodigy at it because she is able to control the time, duration and the place that she wants to travel to.

The movie follows closely to the book with exception of a few scenes like Henry time travelling to see Clare when she is an 80-year-old lady. So if you have read the book, you will not be disappointed (not like in Harry Porter).

Without a doubt, this movie is now one of my all time favourite.
