sorry for not updating since last month. im quite busy with studying and stuffs here since it’s year 2 already… so here is the newest book i read (newest here means i just got it, not that it is newly published) :
the title is THE TIME TRAVELLER’S WIFE. apparently this book is published at 2003, but i just got a chance to buy it and read it last month, and now i’m still reading the book.
summary:On the surface, Henry and Clare Detamble are a normal couple living in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. Henry works at the Newberry Library and Clare creates abstract paper art, but the cruel reality is that Henry is a prisoner of time. It sweeps him back and forth at its leisure, from the present to the past, with no regard for where he is or what he is doing. It drops him naked and vulnerable into another decade, wearing an age-appropriate face. In fact, it’s not unusual for Henry to run into the other Henry and help him out of a jam. Sound unusual? Imagine Clare Detamble’s astonishment at seeing Henry dropped stark naked into her parents’ meadow when she was only six. Though, of course, until she came of age, Henry was always the perfect gentleman and gave young Clare nothing but his friendship as he dropped in and out of her life. It’s no wonder that the film rights to this hip and urban love story have been acquired…Best suited for mature teens – For Teen readers of both SF and Romance; some mild bedroom scenes. (Book List).
well the first time i heard about this book is from my friend in my hometown. she asked me to buy the book for her since i think the book hasn’t published in indonesia yet. that time i was waiting for my flight to indo, and luckily there was a bookshop in the airport, so i just bought it for her. at first i just thought that the book would be some boring one, because it is a love story, and somehow i tried to avoid love story book. however, when i went to bookstore last month to buy a nove to read, i was interested on this book after reading the summary on the back cover, then i just bought it!
i never expected the story to be amazing, and now i am just cannot stop reading it, but since i dont have much free time nowadays, i only read it at night before sleep. the storyline is great. basically it tells about the time traveller, his love life, how he met his ‘soon-to-be’ wife when she was six, and his journey… the author could picture it nicely. she can described the situation well, especially when the main character was time traveling. and it is not that kind of love story. i recommended this book!!!
