The long-awaited sequel to the multi-million-copy bestseller The Time Traveler’s Wife Alba De Tamble is a time traveler, slipping unpredictably through decades like her father before her. But the hardest thing she carries isn’t the burden of futures she can’t understand, or pasts she cannot change – it’s a secret: she is in love with two different people. Each of them offers a different life. Zach lives in the present and can’t follow her when she disappears. Oliver can travel through time, just like she can. As Alba careens from time to time, moving from the riot-torn Chicago streets of her present to the eerie, timeless Yellow House, and into the digital corridors of the Museum of Lost Souls and a flooded future London, she must face a question she can no longer avoid: how is it possible to love, and live a meaningful life, in an increasingly troubled, fractured world? Intimate and expansive, Life Out of Order is a kaleidoscopic story of love, resilience and hope when time is running out.
»En fantastisk, charmig och originell kärlekshistoria.« The Times En lördag i oktober kliver Clare in på Newberrybiblioteket i Chicago och får syn på Henry, en man hon har känt i hela sitt liv och som hon älskar. Hon går fram till honom och hälsar men han verkar inte ha en aning om vem hon är, och dessutom ser han yngre ut än han någonsin gjort förut. Tidsresenärens hustru är den gripande berättelsen om Clare och Henry, en man som lider av en genetisk störning som gör att han plötsligt och ofrivilligt kastas fram och tillbaka mellan olika tidpunkter i sitt liv. Samtidigt som Henrys liv utspelar sig i en kaotisk oordning måste Clare handskas med ovissheten och förtvivlan som kommer av att älska en man som när som helst kan försvinna. Boken blev en omedelbar succé när den publicerades 2003. Sedan dess har den sålt i miljontals exemplar och adapterats till film, tv och musikal. I översättning av Sven Christer Swahn. AUDREY NIFFENEGGER [1963], född i South Haven, Michigan, är en amerikansk författare, konstnär och akademiker. Hon debuterade 2003 med romanen Tidsresenärens hustru, som blev en enorm framgång.
