Book Description
From Connie Willis, winner of multiple Hugo and Nebula
Awards, comes a comedic romp through an unpredictable world
of mystery, love, and time travel...
Ned Henry is badly in need of a rest. He's been shuttling
between the 21st century and the 1940s searching for a
Victorian atrocity called the bishop's bird stump. It's part
of a project to restore the famed Coventry Cathedral,
destroyed in a Nazi air raid over a hundred years earlier.
But then Verity Kindle, a fellow time traveler,
inadvertently brings back something from the past. Now Ned
must jump back to the Victorian era to help Verity put things
right--not only to save the project but to prevent altering
history itself.
