Sliver, random , divided and joined the tun tun. That is the way to describe this book, this wonderful story and its protagonist with a gift (if you can call it that) that complicates a bit life. This story of 400-odd pages we are told by Henry (the traveler) and Clare (his wife in question), they tell us their feelings , experiences, problems and fears surrounding words and narratives, and sometimes simply that this, his in that moment. What because he remarked both? Well, the fact is that Henry our protagonist has a "small" problem that complicates things: Travel back in time. Not that b r e or n i b and and suddenly become a child again. No, no, hopefully. Travel back in time and disappears of its present ... to appear in another different time ( past or future ) naked (can not be or clothing, which, incidentally, causes many problems) ... and I live together with a current (of the time). Osease , there are 2 Henrys at the same instant. How crazy right? Then he has to live with it. And getting a little ahead of the plot, not so much to be considered spoiler but enough to throw the hook and piquéis is the situation with his wife , lover, friend, girlfriend ... ( not know, depends on when you speak ... your mind ... varies ... a lot). But let a middle ground, pluff ! , we planted, we freeze time. Okay, from the point of view that present Clare has had a childhood, overloaded of Henry . Henrys the future seemed to him, played with her, helping her with homework, practiced French ... were his best friend (and I was by the fact that there always were of the same date). But in the present in which "begins" our history, our young Henry not know Clare ... You see the dilemma? This is just a sliver the beginning, because when immersed in pages appear new problems , conflicts and dilemmas , but never abandons us that Henry gone and the loneliness (oh, always alone, that old familiar friend) wrap Clare . Be waiting, afraid to disappear at the worst times, be afraid that something might happen on your trip ... fear, fear , fear. And happiness when he finally returns.
My Point of View :
is like a mountain Russian, or a puzzle rather, the chapters are arranged according to disorderly ... u look at it. At the beginning of each chapter tell us the date (but we lose) and Henry age (if more than one tell us both) and the Clare . It is also possible to say something at first and then clicks later or vice versa, thus, reading is never dull and is very spun together. And the characters are wonderful, I love, especially Henry , Gomez and Charisse ( best friends of the couple, and couples time), are so ... Human? The one I enjoyed was Gómez. Ah ... (* Sigh * ) is a character so well done ... so very well trained ... (Apart from my early adolescence I have a "small " obsession with the distant and exotic ... and Russia has grown increasingly ... literally exploded appear Dimitri Belikov ... but we leave for later and other books) our anarchist, revolutionary and friend smoking dazzles me.
Cosillas Aside:
A film of the book. I have not seen but want to see it. The truth is that Clare imagined very different from the movie, the adults say ... but that usually happens in the movies. Here I leave the trailer . No cheats ye me and I you see the movie before the book, we know ... I put it in English because it is the original ...
