HVA HANDLER DEN OM? For Kivrin, preparing an on-site study of one of the deadliest eras in humanity's history was as simple as receiving inoculations against the diseases of the fourteenth century and inventing an alibi for a woman traveling alone. For her instructors in the twenty-first century, it meant painstaking calculations and careful monitoring of the rendezvous location where Kivrin would be received.

But a crisis strangely linking past and future strands Kivrin in a bygone age as her fellows try desperately to rescue her. In a time of superstition and fear, Kivrin -- barely of age herself -- finds she has become an unlikely angel of hope during one of history's darkest hours.
Five years in the writing by one of science fiction's most honored authors, Doomsday Book is a storytelling triumph. Connie Willis draws upon her understanding of the universalities of human nature to explore the ageless issues of evil, suffering and the indomitable will of the human spirit.

HVA SYNS JEG?  Dette er en av de beste bøkene jeg har lest om temaet tidsreiser. Den er utrolig spennende med detaljrike skildringer fra 1300-tallet samt med realistiske forestillinger om verden i 2054. Aller best likte jeg delene av boken som tok for seg Kivrins opplevelser på 1300-tallet og måten forfatteren fører sammen fortid og fremtid på. Anbefales!!
