Title: Disappointing waste of time
Review: A truly annoying novel -- well written, vivid, but utterly pointless. Combining the worst elements of the historical romance novel, the detective story, and pseudo-science fiction. As another reviewer said of another Connie Willis book, "A pleasant diversion, but there's little for the reader to take away when she's done." Third-rate waste of first-rate writing talent.
