This bestselling and innovative debut novel from Audrey Niffenegger explores the perfect marriage, one that is tested by challenges the couple can neither control nor predict. An imaginative extension of everyday life, the story asks: What if two people who loved each other deeply, married, and faced a life in which one person remained constant while the other slipped fluidly in and out of time?
A modern love story with a twist that invites us to linger over questions of how life and love change over time.

...
The abridged version was one of the best of 2005. Now, listeners get to hear the complete story. Readers William Hope and Laura Lefkow may be better than their predecessors who read the shortened version. Plus, there's more to love--an additional seven hours. Call it a sci-fi love story, as the hero bounces uncontrollably back and forth through time, interacting with his future wife throughout her childhood. Hope and Lefkow narrate alternating chapters, each told from the point of view of either the hero or his wife, recounting the mysterious visits from a strange man. As the child grows into womanhood, the relationship turns to love. Writer Audrey Niffenegger does a tremendous job making the complex simple and producing one of the best audiobooks of the year.
