Time

Time is the main theme that is portrayed in the book The Time Traveler's Wife. Henry's genetic disorder causes him to time travel when ever and where ever without him knowing when it is going to happen. The time apart from his wife Clare puts issues in the relationship but only because they long to be with one another. Time is shown in a positive way in the book. Clare is an artist and gets a lot of alone time to work on her art while Henry is gone. This book focuses on the things that happen when they are together more than they are apart. Although many people think that there is not a positive aspect to time Niffenegger has shown that there is.
