Title: Piercing and bittersweet
Review: Combining several diverse themes, Great Work of Time explores time travel, British imperialism, angels, the life of Cecil Rhodes, and an unimaginable future world tangled and snarled with impossibilities made real by the alteration of countless destinies. Partly a twisted history lesson and partly a chronicle of regret, at its simplest level Great Work of Time is a morality play that exposes the flaw in the argument, "If only humankind could rewrite its own history." A work of aching beauty, this short novella is a small gem from a gifted writer.
