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.
