Goodreads asked Nancy Atkinson:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Nancy Atkinson From the first page, I loved the book "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger, and was struck by the unusual but touching love story of Henry and Claire De Tamble. Henry suffers from a rare genetic disorder that causes him to shift uncontrollably and sometimes violently back and forth through time. Their fierce love and passion for each other endures through the unusual circumstances of Henry's condition (which Niffenegger presents so convincingly as a 'real' disorder!) Henry and Claire knew their time together was sometimes fleeting and limited and so they cherished every moment they were together. As should we all!
