Time Is Nothing

Of course I know about time travelling, but I never realized how real it could be until I finished this book. I have been meaning to read this since summer but I only had my grip on it just a few weeks ago. Dear God, Audrey Niffenegger is awesome. What more can I say?

This is not just your ordinary love story, it is so genuine you wouldn't even think it's within reach. One moment you are tensed, wary that Henry might just disappear and the next, you're drenched with tears. Admittedly, I was carried away by it, I felt like I was Clare and Henry at the same time. I felt as if I was part of the story. I hoped for their joy. I hoped for love.

"Had we but world enough and time. ... I want you, here and now. Here and now."

The summary of Henry's love for Clare was summarized in a letter which was supposed to be read by Clare after his death.

"Clare, I want to tell you, again, I love you. Our love has been the thread through the labyrinth, the net under the high-wire walker, the only real thing in this strange life of mine that I could ever trust. Tonight I feel that my love for you has more density in this world than I do, myself: as though it could linger on after me and surround you, keep you, hold you. ... "

"... When I was young, I didn't understand, but now I know, how absence can be present, like a damaged nerve, like a dark bird."

"... I love you always. Time is nothing."

Time is nothing. Clare is strong, for always waiting for him. They say all people have a cross to bear, but in this book, you'll see Henry's is matchless. And when you place your heart into the story, when you truly immerse yourself in it, you'll be amazed and inspired by how love manages to make everything seem to be a lot more easier.

It's time well spent. I'll definitely wait for the movie.

Cheers, to love and life.
