推介人： 林美儀老師
Clare, an art student, and Henry, a librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-three and Henry thirty-one. Impossible but true as Henry has suffered from a very rare genetic disorder which causes him to involuntarily travel in time -- sometimes back to the past, sometimes forward to the future. The story is told in first-person narration from both Henry and Clare. Each section begins with the date and the ages of Clare and Henry which allows us to see their lives from both their perspectives, to see how Clare suffers the sadness of Henry’s absences and to see how Henry struggles to cope with his ‘disease’ while trying to remain safe. It is a love story which depicts love has no boundaries even between time and space. It is a novel which gives you much to think about and feel.
