Another great Connie Willis book. Great story, great characters, great writing. (I would have given almost everything I've read by her 5 starts now, except for I always run out of patience with the fretting in the middle and want to hurry toward the resolution. You think I am being impatient, but the fretting is looooong.) Times are terrible in this book and the ability to hope is immense, and it was wonderful.

Connie Willis - really good writer. This book? Well written, but SUCH a disappointment after I had already read To Say Nothing of the Dog - which was such a great mood, full of whit and charm. Still, if you want to read the whole series, you'll want to read it.

truly can there ever be enough highly realistic yet preposterous time travel novels set at Oxford and written by Connie Willis?
