From Connie Willis, winner of multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards, comes a
comedic romp through an unpredictable world of mystery, love, and time
travel . . .
Ned Henry is badly in need of a rest. He's been shuttling between the
21st century and the 1940s searching for a Victorian atrocity called the
bishop's bird stump. It's part of a project to restore the famed
Coventry Cathedral, destroyed in a Nazi air raid over a hundred years
earlier.
But then Verity Kindle, a fellow time traveler, inadvertently brings
back something from the past. Now Ned must jump back to the Victorian
era to help Verity put things right--not only to save the project but to
prevent altering history itself.
