Oxford medievalist Kivrin has worked hard to obtain permission to time travel back to 1320 England. She has learned Middle English and Latin, grown her hair long, studied herbal remedies, fashioned era-appropriate clothing, and received a series of vaccines that keep her safe from medieval illnesses. Nonetheless, she arrives in the Middle Ages terribly ill and near death. Her battle against dying, and then her struggle to be accepted as an upper-class woman who has lost her memory (a ruse), take up one part of the narrative. We also watch present-day Oxford, where a severe virus causes the university city to be quarantined, and where retrieving Kivrin from the long-distant past is impossible.
I love the detail of this book. Each time I've read it, I've been amazed at Connie Willis' ability to create two imaginary worlds, both of which seem vividly real. I love the characters, particularly Father Roche and young, spoiled Agnes, who clings onto Kivrin as best friend and mother-subsitute. She is a willful child, but loveable all the same. Everything is so well researched - the food, clothes, social lives, disease, religion - all of it.
So vivid are the characters that I got way too attached to them, even the third time through, when I know the fates of each of them. If you are the sort to cry at books, I recommend bringing a box of tissues for the last hundred pages of this one.
I feel somewhat healed, the result of a book where healing is much sought-after. Perfection. This book is as near to that as any novel I've ever read.… (mais)
