`A rare book'
Daily Express, Chosen by Amanda Holden
I could not put this book down. I was enthralled...
Synopsis
This is the story of Henry and Clare, who have known eachother since Clare was 6 and Henry was 36 and were married when Clare was 20 and Henry 28. This is possible only because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he flashes to other points in time.

Perfect and unforgetable
I loved this book...
I didnt know much about it when i bought it and it just blew my mind.
You have to read it!
FANTASTIC READ!
I have read this book twice.
I've read it a couple of years ago for the first time, and it was just sensational as many reviews said. The second time was when I was on my holiday in Italy about two weeks ago. I've got to warn you, once you start reading this book, you will find it hard to let it go until you finish it! :)
I just simply cannot tell you the story as it's too complicated. It's got to be read to understand the whole story as a big picture. As it's known to be made to a movie, I already wonder eagerly what the movie is going to be like. Better be a good one, although I'm quite skeptical that it will be good as the novel itself.
I loved it at the first time I read it, I loved it again at the second time, and I know I will love it still when I read it again!
Nearly perfect but still brilliant
This is a good old fashioned love story with a major twist, time travel. The concept for this book is unique and totally captivating. It starts with a bang and you fly through the first 200 pages, almost as if they are turning themselves. I thought it was going to be my new favorite book. Then unfortunately it lags for 200 pages with less time travel and more love story. The final 100 pages are back to the earlier top form and the book ends with a bang. I would wholeheartedly recommend for anybody really.
