Recensione:
"...holding firmly to her endearing brand of exasperated humor."
-- Publishers Weekly
Critical acclaim for the novels of Connie Willis:
To Say Nothing of the Dog
"The most hilarious book of its kind since John Irving's The Water-Method Man and A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy O'Toole."
-- Des Moines Sunday Register
"Willis effortlessly juggles comedy of manners, chaos theory, and a wide range of literary allusions [with a] near flawlessness of plot, character, and prose."
-- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Doomsday Book
"A tour de force."
-- The New York Times Book Review
"A stunning novel that encompasses both suffering and hope."
-- The Denver Post
"The world of 1348 burns in the mind's eye, and every character alive in that year is a fully realized being.... It becomes possible to feel ... that Connie Willis did, in fact, over the five years Doomsday Book took 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. It was only toward the end of the book that I realized how much tension had been generated, how engrossed I was in the characters, how much I cared about their fates."
-- The New York Times Book Review
