I suppose it was okay... I could do without the silly and very annoying romance, though. It just seemed like a ploy to make us care about Harpole. I bet there could be another way to do so. I just hate that you start out with a fairly cool narrator who then suddenly gets all hot and bothered every t...
When a team of immortal cyborgs from the future travel to Mary Tudor’s England, surely nothing can go wrong? This is a beautifully written, devastating book. Definitely for adults, I’d say–certain scenes would have probably given me nightmares as a child and I’ve always been pretty tough with most t...

However, in their present, they have no way to test if the process works, so they are forced, so to speak, to discover time travel. When it is discovered that the immortality process is too dangerous to sell on th...

For her first trip to "the field", she travels to Tudor Engl...
If you are tired of waiting for Connie Willis to write more novels and you're interested in time travel/the Renaissance/clever dialogue and madcap antics + heartbreak, this series is a good place to start. I lent it to R&A and I think it's still at their house . . .
