There are three parts of Audrey Niffennegger's The Time Traveler's Wife that are the most painful to read. Okay, most of the end is pretty upsetting, but these three are the hardest.
1. When Henry travels to the future and meets his daughter for the first time at the museum. When he is trying to remain long enough to see Clare and you can practically see their fingers almost touch before he fades out.
2. The time with Clare at the party when Henry knows he's going to be going away for the last time, and that when he returns he will be dying.
3. The final visit introduced from first Henry's and then Clare's perspective.
The entire book is powerful and engaging. I had an entire night to myself, and I took that time to read most of the book. And I finished it for the fourth time this morning.

And looking at her site, she has a new book coming out next month called Her Fearful Symmetry.
