time traveller's wife by audrey niffenegger

Time Traveller's Wife is a stunning love story but it was much more than just a love story. Niffenegger has a truly creative mind. She has crafted such convincing characters and set them in wonderfully fantastical, yet believable, situations. The love between the two main characters is flawless. Despite it being constantly tested, it withstands, pure, never undulating, yearning, and beautiful. It's never sappy and leaves a melancholy note hanging in the air. Even I, who can never stand love stories, found this an extraordinary read.


PS. I came across another love story when I was searching for an image for this post. It is a still from a Swedish Love Story.

PPS. I didn't realize there was a movie out too!
