The book tells the story of Henry Detamble who is suffers from time-travelling disease. He is not a glamorous time-traveler but a victim who travels into past involuntarily due to stress. He meets his wife when she is a kid and he is already married to her in present. The novel talks about many things-- romance, marriage, drugs and death. It covers a lot for one novel.
