Sponsored Blog Post: Published in September 2003, The Time Traveler’s Wife is the debut novel of Audrey Niffenegger. The love story is between a librarian, Henry deTamble , who involuntarily travels through time and his wife, artist Claire Tabshire, who leads a sequential course of life. The author wrote the story as a metaphor for her own failed relationships and wrote the novel at night, on weekends, and during her summer holidays. Niffenegger sent the manuscript unsolicited to publisher MacAdam Cage. After publication, the novel was endorsed by author and family friend Scott Turow on NBC’s The Today Show, which helped kick off sales. The book has sold over 2.5 million copies in North America.
