When a time-travel lab suddenly cancels assignments for no apparent reason and switches around everyone's schedules, time-traveling historians Michael, Merope, and Polly find themselves in World War II, facing air raids, blackouts, unexploded bombs, dive-bombing Stukas, rationing, shrapnel, V-1s, and two of the most incorrigible children in all of history--to say nothing of a growing feeling that not only their assignments but the war and history itself are spiraling out of control.

Reviewed by FrancescaEin sehr fesselndes Buch, welches den Lesenden in das London des Zweiten Weltkrieges eintauchen lässt. Der Schreibstil ist angenehm zu lesen und durch die Erzählperspektive eines auktorialen bzw. personellen Erzählers wird man direkt in die Handlung der verschiedenen Protagonisten versetzt. Die Charaktere sind sehr greifbar - bereits auf den ersten Seiten schafft es Connie Willis, dass man mitfiebert und das Buch kaum aus der Hand legen möchte.
