First of all, the time travelling doesn't make sense to me, it's always confusing for me anyway.
It's understood that Henry first met Clare when he was 28 and they were both adults but for Clare, she's known him since she was 6 and Henry was early 40s.
It was actually quite sad to see that Clare literally spent her whole life surrounded by Henry, waiting for him, loving him, wanting to be with him etc etc.
Atleast Henry was able to live his own life and go down his own routes and paths. Clare was not able to do that.
It made me uncomfortable for Henry groom Clare in that way. He was attracted to her when she was in her early-mid teens. He quite roughly kissed her when she was 15/16 and then slept with her on her 18th birthday.
Not only this but other problematic aspects within the book. The way the writer was 'descriptive' also made me uncomfortable.
What was the need to know the nurse was Black (and it was written in what felt like a passive aggressive way). Or to know 'an Indian doctor called Sue.'
To the author...erm.... the doc said nothing about their ethnicity but you wrote 'Indian' because you wanted to portray them as brown? Surely South Asian would make more sense. This just made your characters look stereotypical.
Also insensitive sentences about rape which added nothing to what the characters were saying. There are much better ways to say those things.
And the antisemitism ?? Yeah that was also not okay.
The film did a lot better in regards to being less problematic and harmful but overall, yeah. This book is not good.
