movie review - The Time Traveler's Wife

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

This is a superb story about a man who with the ability to travel in time. He can't control this ability and it causes him a great deal of grief and injury. His girlfriend, later wife, is drawn to him after he visits her several times as a young adult even before they've met in his timeline. She has several miscarriages during the marriage, likely because the fetuses were in some regard traveling in time. But eventually one pregnancy is carried to term, and then the story of their daughter and her time traveling begins.

The traveler's (mis)adventures and the toll they take are very well rendered in this story. I found the whole thing note-perfect in tone and story. I really enjoyed this.

Strongly recommended.
