All Clear by Connie Willis

I will echo what others here have already said:
-If the two volumes could have been one
-If the characters spent less time speculating about their circumstances (i.e. excessive internal hand wringing)
-If the focus of the book had shifted away from these worrisome main characters and instead highlighted the vivid historic scene setting and secondary characters
Well, that would have been quite a book. Even with all that, the last few hundred pages of the second volume are riveting and the ending is quite satisfying. I wish I could tell my friends it was worth the slog to get there. I almost can. Ok, maybe I can.
