Blackout/All Clear
by Connie Willis
Summary
Connie Willis tells a single sprawling story across two volumes in which Oxford historians travel back to England during the Second World War and find themselves stranded as their portals home fail. The narrative follows them through the Blitz, the Dunkirk evacuation, and the daily courage of ordinary Britons under bombardment. Willis blends meticulous research, time travel, and warmth into a tribute to wartime endurance.
