BOOK REC:

I just finished “Blackout” and “All Clear” by Connie Willis… OMG IT’S WONDERFUL!!

It’s the most recent in her Oxford time travel ouevre, intricately plotted, ties all the previous books into one cohesive timeline, also a detailed look at WWII UK (from the civilian POV, multiple facets thereof), and humor. You don’t have to have read any of the previous books to understand it, but there’s an extra layer of enjoyment if you have.

Also, I now want to buy two parrots, and name them Alf and Binnie.

Absolutely on my top 10 list. I learned so much about the Blitz from those books. I loved the way she wove everything together. I still think about some of the characters sometimes.

Been watching the series, Foyle’s War, on Netflix. Brought the books back to me in detail.
