Title: Very effective Time travel story
Review: In Willis's "Firewatch" universe time travel is pretty much confined to academic use since nothing can be changed in history. Historians travel back in time and make observations.In this book, probably Willis's best. A historian is sent back to the early 14th century but ends up in the middle of the Great Plague in England. At the same time a new plague is overcoming her home in 21st century Oxford. Trapped in this alien world she becomes involved with a wonderfully drawn cast of 14th century characters in a doomed village. The framing device of time travel works very well and this produces a quite moving work. I read this more than a decade ago and still occasionally think of it.Highly recommended.
