Description: Toronto: Knopf Canada, 2003. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. ISBN: 0676976328. DJ and boards show very light shelf wear, minor bumping of corners. Previous owner's name on FFEP. ; A bright, solid book dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped.; 9.1 X 5.9 X 1.8 inches; 518 pages; "This clever and inventive tale works on three levels: as an intriguing science fiction concept, a realistic character study and a touching love story. Henry De Tamble is a Chicago librarian with "Chrono Displacement" disorder; at random times, he suddenly disappears without warning and finds himself in the past or future, usually at a time or place of importance in his life. This leads to some wonderful paradoxes. From his point of view, he first met his wife, Clare, when he was 28 and she was 20. She ran up to him exclaiming that she'd known him all her life. He, however, had never seen her before. But when he reaches his 40s, already married to Clare, he suddenly finds himself time travelling to Clare's childhood and meeting her as a 6-year-old. The book alternates between Henry and Clare's points of view." One of the best books I have read in years.. Very Good in Very Good+ dust jacket .
