(4.1) | 1 / 1167 | The story of Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, a librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty, and were married when Clare was twenty-two and Henry thirty. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity in his life, past and future.

Epigrafi (motto tai mietelause kirjan alussa) |
Tiedot englanninkielisestä Yhteisestä tiedosta. Muokkaa kotoistaaksesi se omalle kielellesi. Clock time is our bank manager, tax collector, police inspector; this inner time is our wife.
— J. B. PRIESTLEY, Man and Time  Love After Love
The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror, and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life.
—DEREK WALCOTT
 Oh not because happiness exists, that too-hasty profit snatched from approaching loss.  But because truly being here is so much; because everything here apparently needs us, this fleeting world, in which some strange way keeps calling us. Us, the most fleeting of all.  . . . Ah, but what can we take along into that other real? Not the art of looking, which is learned so slowly, and nothing that happened here. Nothing. The sufferings, then. And, above all, the heaviness, and the long experience of love,—just what is wholly unsayable.

As the story went on, there was a lot about the relationship between Clare and Henry that made me uncomfortable, especially how he, as a grown man, interacted with her as a child. The story started to drag, and I found myself skimming. Still, I was glad to give this book another try. I found much more in it to like the second time, and I think that speaks to the importance of reading the right book at the right time.
As a writer, the way Niffengger put this book together helps me to think about constructing a book like a puzzle: crafting clues that the reader pieces together.
