What this book is about
Oxford historian Ned Henry, suffering from time-lag after too many jumps, is sent to Victorian England to recover—and stumbles into a paradox involving a cat that shouldn't exist and a priceless artifact that was supposedly destroyed. Connie Willis's Hugo-winning comedy of manners is charming, funny, and ingeniously constructed.
