Doomsday Book, Connie Willis
Recommended by Monica

In this time-travelling story, a 21st century historian travels to the 14th century.

The Doomsday Book is an interesting, well written and sad tale. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in history or science fiction. The passage below is from the time of the Black Death and is quoted in the book; it gives an idea of what the story is about.

"Buried with my own hands five of my children in a single grave . . . No bells. No tears. This is the end of the world." - Agniola Di Tura. Siena 1347.

The Doomsday Book is the winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards.
