The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, an adventuresome librarian, have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-three and Henry thirty-one.

His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.
