Audrey Niffenegger

Audrey Niffenegger's first novel turned heads, won hearts, and skyrocketed up bestseller lists around the world when it was first published in 2003, and it has continued to find new readers as they've shared it hand-to-hand through the years. And now, its long-anticipated sequel is slated to come out in 2023. Focused on the time traveler's daughter, THE OTHER HUSBAND tells the story of Alba DeTamble, who has inherited her father's affliction she, too, is a time-traveler. She is also a musician, composer, and the wife of two men: Oliver Thornton-Yang, a talented pianist whom she meets when she is a judge at a competition in the late 21st century, and Zach Purcell, whose corn-fed good looks are a perfect cover for his work with Antifa. Alba struggles to reconcile her two lives, one chronological with Zach, one wildly out of order with Oliver, as she also contends with having full knowledge of everything that's going to hap-pen to the world.without having the power to do anything about it. Audrey Niffenegger is an artist and author who lives in Chicago and London. Her first novel, THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE, was translated into 34 languages and was a global phenomenon. Her second novel, HER FEARFUL SYMMETRY, was hailed as "bewitch-ing- atmospheric and beguiling" by the New York Times, "deliciously creepy" by the Washington Post, and was an international bestseller. TIME magazine has called Niffenegger "an ex-traordinarily sensitive and accomplished writer," and THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE will be premi-ering as a series on HBO in May 2022, helmed by "Sherlock" and "Doctor Who" showrunner Steven Moffat.
