It becomes possible to feel ... that Connie Willis did, in fact, over the five yearsDoomsday Booktook her to write, open a window to another world. And that she saw something there." --The Washington Post Book World Lincoln's Dreams "A tantalizing mix of history and scientific speculation ... Willis tells this tale with clarity and assurance...her prose is impeccable." --San Francisco Chronicle "A love story on more than one level, and Ms. Willis does justice to them all.
