I write this review from a Place of Sorrow where I have been here ever since finishing this book last week.
When I reviewed it, I asked our readers which CW’s novel I should read next and 99% recommended Doomsday Book. Why did I read this book: A few weeks ago, I read my first Connie Willis’ novel, To Say Nothing of the Dog and I LOVED it. Stand alone or series: Stand alone (but part of a larger series that follows a group of historians belonging to the University of Oxford’s time travelling program.) In a time of superstition and fear, Kivrin - barely of age herself - finds she has become an unlikely angel of hope during one of history’s darkest hours. For her instructors in the twenty-first century, it meant painstaking calculations and careful monitoring of the rendezvous location where Kivrin would be received.īut a crisis strangely linking past and future strands Kivrin in a bygone age as her fellows try desperately to rescue her. For Kivrin, preparing an on-site study of one of the deadliest eras in humanity’s history was as simple as receiving inoculations against the diseases of the fourteenth century and inventing an alibi for a woman traveling alone.
