TTW is one of my all time favorites, next to Prodigal Summer. My only beef is
that there is no *unabridged* audio version.
I think she figures it out by reflecting back. I think there is even a scene
in the book where she reflects back and gets that sinking feeling. I've
already read it 4 times (once on audio) but can't quote chapter & verse yet.
Yes, I'm a guy, but I cry my eyes out in several places (tearing up right now
just thinking about the museum). Trying not to give away spoilers. I just
have to put the book down and cry for a few minutes. My family thinks I'm
crazy. (Except my daughter who has read it too). I think it is one of the
most profound books on the nature of love in marriage that I can think of.
What boggles my mind is how Audrey Niffenegger totally captures a man's heart
for his family in her writing. Henry could be my psychic twin. I'm not
chrono-impaired, just spaced out. LOL.
The only other book that chokes me up even close to this is The Shepherd by
Frederick Forsyth. It's a Christmas story, but not at all what you would
think. No one has ever heard of it, but it is another of my all time
favorites.

This is a bit off-topic, but I wanted to share it. I know a lot of
readers
are also people who like to write, and I'm sure we have our share of people
who blog in this group as well. But I found this site
(http://www.100words.net/front.cfm) and its... interesting. Mostly I thought
it was worth sharing because the idea behind it is a good one. For one month
you write exactly 100 words. At the end of the month, your words (all 3000
of them) go into the public archives on 100 Words. But for one month, you're
challenged to summarize your daily life in only a few words. Five or ten
sentances.
I joined up for this month, even though I have been blogging quite happily
for about 3 years now. Lately I've bene looking for more directed ways to
let out my words and my thoughts, and between this, One Word
(http://www.oneword.com/), my normal blog (http://tragicbeautiful.com/ ) and
the mini-Blogympics a friend and I are doing, well, its going to be an
interesting month!
Anyway, I just wanted to share. :0)
Now to make this not so OT, I just finished Time Traveler's Wife. I think
the last 50 pages I was bawling- I knew, and he knew, but she didn't quite
know yet. What I really wonder (and I'm being vague for those who haven't
read it so not to spoil it) is was it her father or her brother, and did she
ever learn how it really happened?
