The new HBO show “The Time Traveler’s Wife” gives a whole new meaning to the term “childhood sweethearts.”
The main character, Clare Abshire, fell in love with Henry DeTamble when she was 6 and he was 31. Then again when he was 40. They started dating when she was 20 and he was 28. And somehow, somewhere, they found a sweeping love story that was doomed from the start.
“The Time Traveler’s Wife,” based on the 2003 bestselling novel by Audrey Niffenegger, premiered Sunday and stars “Game of Thrones” actress Rose Leslie as the adult Clare and Theo James as Henry.
