rkw25 's review for:
To Say Nothing of the Dog
by Connie Willis
After trying and failing to read Doomsday Book which one of my colleagues used to recommend for a church history course, I didn't consider reading this second book in the series. Encouragement from Grace made me try it, and I'm glad I did. With Coventry Cathedral pre-WW II, time travel, and a rather whacky mystery, good writing and engaging characters caught me this time. The author's attention to details can almost overwhelm but the humorous moments interspersed throughout, especially those with the dog, a cat, and spiritualism, keep things moving. Add in the overall concepts of life and mortality, the scope of generations, love, and hope, and this book is a classic.
