Ida was a natural historian who knew how to throw in enough fiction to keep up dramtic tension. And she was replete with details, like a big fat colorful nineteenth-century historical novel, inching forward slowly.... Ida's narrative line, like her waistline, was ample.

About This Quote

This quote from the young adult novel "The Time Traveler's Wife" is a funny and cute way of describing a novel. The author uses the word "replete" to make the point that Ida was stuffed with details. This is a funny way of saying that she was full of information. Ida, as the main character in the novel, was like our narrator as we read along and filled in all the details as we go along.
