Time Traveller’s Wife #2 is coming… this is not a drill!!

[toomanyflatwhites]

I know it’s a bit Marmite around here but having loved the Time travellers Wife since I got my hands on an early proof in 2003 (had a publishing contact at the time, sadly I don’t anymore!) and read it regularly ever since, I’ve just found out that after many years the follow up is being published in October - can’t wait!! But… will it be any good? If anyone has any means to get to read an early copy please come and share - otherwise I guess it’s only a few months to wait after literally years! The follow up was originally announced in 2013 but I’ve seen a proof copy on Instagram so I know it really exists this time!
(I did search but couldn’t see another thread but maybe I’m late to the party on this, it’s been a while since I did a search to check!)

Oooh, interesting! Thank you.

I enjoyed it, might well read this. my main worries would be that it could repeat stuff to do with Claire and Henry, whether over the time period of the original novel or afterwards, when we already know the outcomes for the two characters, and / or that there would be equally sad stuff in this one!

Oh, interesting! I'm actually reading TTW right now for the first time in years, off the back of reading The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams.

Intriguing that since time travel forwards was established in the first book, Henry being dead is no barrier to him wandering in to a scene with Alba - we already know that we don't know about every instance of time travel, and we do know that Henry wouldn't have told Clare anything about things that may have happened if in fact he had already interacted with their daughter. The kind of thing that needs a great deal of care in the writing though, when you're dealing with a great big ball of timey-wimey stuff... ;)

I have an ARC and my colleague bought a final proof when at the Women's Prize event in June so it's definitely happening. I've not read it yet but am very excited to do some!!
