Title: A heart-rending favorite
Review: Connie Willis' Doomsday Book is one of my favorite books of all time. This is something my young adult children can't understand--there is too much sickness and death for them and they think it's a depressing book. But for me, the compelling characters and their concern for each other is redemptive in the midst of both the Black Death of the past and a pandemic in the future. I love the characters, the story and the writing. It is Willis at her best. It is sci fi at its best. I highly recommend it to anyone who can stomach graphic stories about illness.
