Kathy (readr4ever) | 312 comments I'm not familiar with this title, will have to look it up. I absolutely love Doomsday Book and To Say Nothing of the Dog by Willis. Have you read those?

I read To Say Nothing of the Dog a few weeks ago, and loved it- I've been working my way through her titles since then. This one was a small press novella, so might be a little harder to find. Doomsday Book is next on my list.
