About this listen
For Oxford student Kivrin, traveling back to the 14th century is more than the culmination of her studies - it's the chance for a wonderful adventure. For Dunworthy, her mentor, it is cause for intense worry about the thousands of things that could go wrong. When an accident leaves Kivrin trapped in one of the deadliest eras in human history, the two find themselves in equally gripping - and oddly connected - struggles to survive.
Deftly juggling stories from the 14th and 21st centuries, Willis provides thrilling action - as well as an insightful examination of the things that connect human beings to each other.

"Ms. Willis displays impressive control of her material; virtually every detail introduced in the early chapters is made to pay off as the separate threads of the story are brought together." (The New York Times Book Review)
"A stunning novel that encompasses both suffering and hope....The best work yet from one of science fiction's best writers." (The Denver Post)

Great narrator and decent book
The book is a bit slow in how it starts and builds up but once it his it's stride, things get fairly interesting.
Wanted to make special mention about the narrator and sweet accent. I personally loved it. She uses a great voice as the narrator and for characters in 14th century England as well. Was in the mood to listen to something different than my regular sci fi fare when I picked this up and I'm glad I took the chance on this less reviewed book.

very touching and relatable
Though it starts off slow, the build up feels necessary as you keep going. The explicit detailing, along with the splendid performance makes this a very real experience in both the past and the future set ups. Heartbreaking at times.
