The Time Traveler's Wife: I love you, so I am willing to wait for you all my life.

Many people often think that time is like a scourge, which will change everything.

The people you once cared about, your pain, and the love you once thought unforgettable will become irrelevant and become history sooner or later under the impact of time.

However, true love will not fade with the change of time, but will only become more profound.

This week, I recommend the novel The Time Traveler's Wife by American writer audrey niffenegger. What kind of story is this? Come and have a look ~

Henry, the hero, suffers from a disease called time lapse, which is a symptom of space-time disorder.

Henry, the librarian of Newbury Library, is young, handsome and adventurous. He was lovelorn and indulged himself. But from the day he met Claire at the age of 28, there was only one woman left in his life. To this end, he carefully tidied up his past love life and made a clean break with his lover ingrid. Henry suffers from a genetic defect called chronic dislocation of time and space. He will unconsciously wander in different time and space, which makes him a person who can travel through time and space.

He sometimes appears at some time in the past, and even meets his childhood self; Sometimes it will appear at some point in the future, even with adult self. He can't control himself. Overworked, noisy, stressed, standing up suddenly and so on, anything can lead to his disappearance. In bed, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in the car, in the library where he works, and even at his wedding with Claire, he will disappear without a trace, leaving only a pile of clothes on the ground.

Claire is an artist who is engaged in making paper art and creating paper sculptures. She has always lived and worked regularly. When Claire was 6 years old, she met a man on her lawn. He said to her, "I'm from the future. I am a time traveler. We will be friends in the future. " The future Henry knows Claire like the back of his hand. He talked with her about history, astronomy and rock music, and helped her become the future Claire. He became her friend, patiently accompanied her to grow up, and slowly cultivated a lovely girl into her lover.

1 1 years old, Claire played divination games with her classmates and came to the conclusion that her future husband's name was "Henry". /kloc-When he was 0/3 years old, Clare missed Henry to a feverish degree: "I desperately need him here, and I need him to touch my body with his hands. Although at the moment, he just drenched me. And I am alone, longing for him. "

Henry said, "I'm afraid of getting lost in time and never going back." I'm afraid of losing you. I am afraid that you are tired of the life I left behind, and I am afraid that you will abandon me. "

Claire said to Henry, "I won't leave you, even if you always leave me."

From the age of 18, she began to look for her "he" in the city according to the instructions from her future lover. On her 20th birthday, Claire told her friend happily, "I love him, he is my life. I have been waiting for him, waiting for him with my life, and now, I have finally arrived ... "

Three years later, they got married. After being married to Claire for many years, Henry suddenly found himself back in childhood, but this time he met Claire, who was 6 years old. His sudden disappearance, ranging from a few minutes to more than ten minutes, from a few days to a few months to two years, is like a swing, swinging in Claire's life. She is always waiting, because she doesn't know when and where he is going to travel, and she is always waiting in fear that if he leaves, she will never come back to find her.

Claire's husband was not around when she gave birth. Shortly after the baby was born, Henry died because of an accident in time travel. He was shot by a bullet of 1984. Claire, 43, heard her name called and ran to the lawn outside the house. She saw 43-year-old Henry standing in the hay and smiling at her. The other Henry in 2005 left only a pool of blood and Claire's dying struggle. At the age of 35, she watched death take her lover with tears in her eyes. But she is still waiting, because her husband's suicide note says that when she is 80 years old, she will meet him here in her 40 s. In the letter left for Claire, Henry told Claire that he had seen her again. On a warm morning, "she wore a coral cardigan with white hair on her back and a cup of tea on the table next to her ... Over the years, our love has been a beacon of suffering in Wang Yang ... the only truth and the only trust in my strange life."

At the end of the letter, he said: I love you forever and ever, and time is nothing.

This is the last sentence he said to his wife, and it is also the most beautiful love story of this story.

In Henry's timeline, I met Claire's childhood, adolescence and twilight. For him, every encounter is companionship, and companionship is his love.

Some people say that companionship is the longest confession; It is also said that waiting is the longest confession. Claire's love is waiting-waiting for the next meeting with Henry after each disappearance.

In Claire's timeline, from childhood to adulthood, she met Henry in her twenties to forties. Until the end, she will have the longest wait in her life, looking forward to this distant encounter. True love will not fade with the change of time, but will only become more profound.

In 2009, this book was put on the screen with the same name. If you like this book, you may also like this movie.
