Media Reviews
Praise for Blackout
As vivid an evocation of England during World War II as anyone has ever written . . . You'll find here a novelist who can plot like Agatha Christie and whose books possess a bounce and stylishness that Preston Sturges might envy. -- The Washington Post
A tour-de-force. [Willis is] one of America's finest writers. -- The Denver Post
[Willis has] researched Blackout so thoroughly her readers may imagine she had access to the time machine her characters use. -- The Seattle Times
This compassionate and deeply imagined novel . . . gives the reader a strong you-were-there feeling. -- The Times-Picayune
A page-turning thriller . . . Willis uses detail and period language exquisitely well, creating an engaging, exciting tale. -- Publishers Weekly
Depicts the times and the spirit of the British people remarkably vividly. . . . multifaceted and believable.
-- Booklist (starred review)
[A] boo

Enthralling . . . a story so packed with thrills, comedy, drama and a bit of red herring that the result is apt to satisfy the most discriminating, and hungry, reader. -- The Denver Post

[Connie] Willis can tell a story like no other. . . . One of her specialties is sparkling, rapid-fire dialogue; another, suspenseful plotting; and yet another, dramatic scenes so fierce that they burn like after-images in the reader's memory. -- The Village Voice

Ambitious, and moving . . . with a lovely twist at the end. -- The San Diego Union-Tribune

[Willis's] re-creation of wartime England is meticulous, energetic and exhaustive. -- The Wall Street Journal

[A] tour de force. -- The Charlotte Observer
