Doomsday Book

Oxford historians in the twenty-first century use time travel for field research, but when Kivrin Engle is sent to the Middle Ages, a technical failure strands her in the path of catastrophe. While a modern epidemic paralyzes her support team, Kivrin must survive plague, isolation and the fragility of historical certainty. Connie Willis combines emotional intensity, meticulous period detail and dark humor in a novel about endurance, compassion and the cost of understanding the past.
