Read: Audrey Niffenegger - Her Fearful Symmetry
It would be hard to top the success of a first novel like 'The Time Traveler's Wife'. Yet this is also a good book - uncanny mood, with some shocking plot twists. A bit like something Connie Willis could have written, which rather makes me wish that it had actually been written by Connie Willis. It makes me want to go back to re-read 'The Time Traveler's Wife' - my memory of it is a bit vague at this point, but I think I remember the characters and their relationships being easier to connect with. This book was a little bloodless. Everyone seems distant and unreal - which is in keeping with the theme of the story, but diminishes its impact.
