Time Traveler's Wife
As I think about this book, I find myself coming back to the idea of the possibility of time travel after death. Actually, it's not really after death, since the travel to the future occurs while Henry is alive -- it's just that he arrives in Clare's future more than 40 years after he has died. What must Clare be feeling? She's known that this moment was coming (thanks to Henry's list of dates) ... and what's it like for Henry.. he sees a woman of 80+ For once, she's the one who knows what his future will bring. The irony of Clare holding the truth rather than Henry is an intersting twist to end with. Imagine if this were possible - death wouldn't really be the end....
