To Say Nothing Of The Dog

About this book

Connie Willis Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Doomsday Book uses time travel for a serious look at how people connect with each other. In this Hugo-winning companion to that novel she offers a completely different kind of time travel adventure: a delightful romantic comedy that pays hilarious homage to Jerome K. Jeromes Three Men in a Boat. When too many jumps back to 1940 leave 21st century Oxford history student Ned Henry exhausted a relaxing trip to Victorian England seems the perfect solution. But complexities like recalcitrant rowboats missing cats and love at first sight make Neds holiday anything but restful - to say nothing of the way hideous pieces of Victorian art can jeopardize the entire course of history.
