The Time Traveler’s Wife is Getting a Dystopian Sequel
The title of this ABC article says Audrey Niffenegger is releasing a “long-awaited” sequel to The Time Traveler’s Wife, but most readers seem surprised that this 23-year-old novel had a sequel planned at all. It’s called Life Out of Order and follows Alba DeTamble, the daughter of Henry DeTamble, who also has “Chrono-Displacement Disorder.” Niffenegger says it’s set in a dystopian world that seemed far from our own when she started writing it in 2012, but looks much more familiar today. Life Out of Order comes out October 27th.
