Waiting...
When I initially began the book, I was a little bit confused by the time travel. As I read on it was easier to follow along. It's very interesting how Audrey Niffenegger was able to write this novel with Henry traveling in time and makes it flow so well.
"It's hard being left behind. I wait for Henry, not knowing where he is, wondering if he's okay. It's hard to be the one who stays." - Clare VII
The main theme I received while reading this book was love. From the very beginning we see the strong relationship Clare and Henry have. Clare is constantly waiting on Henry to come back to her during his time travels. Even in the last chapter of the book we see a reflection of the beginning. Clare is 82 years old and she waits for Henry to come to her. She says that, "Today is not much different form all other days. I get up at dawn, put on slacks and a sweater, brush my hair, make toast, and tea, and sit looking at the lake, wondering if he will come today." No matter what she will always wait for him to come because he always does.
