Doomsday Book

“A stunning novel that encompasses both suffering and hope… . The best work yet from one of science fiction’s best writers.”—The Denver Post “Splendid work—brutal, gripping and genuinely harrowing, the product of diligent research, fine writing and well-honed instincts, that should appeal far beyond the normal science-fiction constituency.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“The world of 1348 burns in the mind’s eye, and every character alive that year is a fully recognized being… . It becomes possible to feel … that Connie Willis did, in fact, over the five years Doomsday Book took her to write, open a window to another world, and that she saw something there.”—The Washington Post Book World
