While studying English and classical languages at Hillsdale College I founded my company Kittywham Productions, where I publish original play scripts and skits for churches, schools, homeschool groups, and Christian theaters. In the Oxford of Christmas, 2054, time travel is a well-established tool of historical research. I'm Rachelle Ferguson of Kittywham Productions, and Unknown Friends is my weekly book review podcast, where I discuss classic and contemporary literature from my personal reading list. In Connie Willis’ Hugo and Nebula award-winning Doomsday Book, Oxford historian Kivrin Engle travels back in time to a medieval English village in 1320 to conduct a study of its inhabitants.She takes every precaution to dress and speak like the locals, and to develop a convincing identity and cover story for her appearance. READ REVIEW DOOMSDAY BOOK by Connie Willis RELEASE DATE: JSecond solo novel (following Lincolns Dreams, 1987) from an author best known for her strong stories (the collection Fire Watch, etc.).
Doomsday Book, Connie Willis's 1992 novel blending sci-fi and historical fiction, considers the incarnation of Christ from an intriguing angle, although the book suffers from tedious pacing and poor plot development.
