This is a powerful device: lovers often wish they could have met, or at least have had glimpses of, their soul mates in their youth. His time-traveling into the future also allows Clare to have an adulterous affair with her own husband. (It's very complicated.) But in a story that is unabashedly pro-love (and incidentally anti...
