The Time Traveller's Wife and my outrageous DD (contains spoiler)

[Hassled]

I had a hysterical phonecall from DD last night - she's 19 and at University. I picked up the phone to the sound of sobbing and then:

"I can't BELIEVE you lent me that book when you KNEW I was feeling a bit low - I can't BELIEVE you didn't tell me that Henry was going to die, and I'm not going to finish it, I'm just not up to it. Do you ever think about other people's feelings?" and so on and so on.

I pointed out that she'd sat next to me on the sofa as I sobbed when I finished it, which may have been a clue, and she said "But you cry about anything!"

I officially give up - I am doing no more book-lending

poor thing!

Though I think there are clues to what happens all the way through.

I have to admit that this is one of those books where I finally cracked and skipped ahead to read the conclusion when I was 50 pages away. And it still made me sob like a big girlie.

(I was 8 months pregnant at the time though so I'm going to blame the hormones for both of those embarrassing lapses.)

And I tried 3 times to read this and just couldn't get into it at all, and I'm usually the softest one out

(skulks away to try and defrost hard heart!!!)

What a beautiful book it is to be released as a film in august but imo the people playing the leads do not seem right.

Clare is too too conventionally 'pretty'.

LOL at histrionic teen daughter!
IT is an emotional book but the clues are all the way through it!

how wonderful to have such a lovely relationship with your dd mine is still only six, but i dont see us doing this
