Blackout/All Clear

Summary

Published as two volumes that form a single story, this time travel novel sends Oxford historians back to Britain during World War II, where they become stranded amid the Blitz, the Dunkirk evacuation, and the daily peril of wartime England. As they struggle to return home, they fear their presence may have altered the course of history. Willis combines meticulous historical research with suspense and a deeply human portrait of ordinary courage under bombardment.
