   Oxford in 2060 is a chaotic place, with scores of time-traveling historians being sent into the past. Michael Davies is prepping to go to Pearl Harbor. Merope Ward is coping with a bunch of bratty 1940 evacuees and trying to talk her thesis adviser into letting her go to VE-Day. Polly Churchill’s next assignment will be as a shopgirl in the middle of London’s Blitz. But now the time-travel lab is suddenly canceling assignments and switching around everyone’s schedules. And when Michael, Merope, and Polly finally get to World War II, things just get worse. For there they face air raids, blackouts, and dive-bombing Stukas—to say nothing of a growing feeling that not only their assignments but the war and history itself are spiraling out of control. Because suddenly the once-reliable mechanisms of time travel are showing significant glitches, and our heroes are beginning to question their most firmly held belief: that no historian can possibly change the past.

   In Blackout, award-winning author Connie Willis returns to the time-traveling future of 2060, sending three Oxford historians to World War II England: Michael Davies, who aims to witness heroism during the Miracle of Dunkirk; Merope Ward, studying the evacuation of children from London; and Polly Churchill, disguised as a shopgirl amidst the Blitz. However, they become unexpectedly trapped in 1940, facing the dual challenge of finding a way home while surviving the relentless bombings by Hitler’s forces. As the situation worsens, small discrepancies in the historical record suggest that one or all of them may have inadvertently altered the past, challenging the long-held belief that the past can only be observed, never changed. This unsettling realization complicates their mission. Meanwhile, in 2060 Oxford, their supervisor, Mr. Dunworthy, and seventeen-year-old Colin Templer, who has a crush on Polly, are engaged in a frantic search for the missing historians. The narrative unfolds with compassion, humor, and artistry that is both uplifting and devastating. This story serves as a powerful exploration of faith, love, and the often-overlooked acts of heroism and sacrifice that shape history, marking it as a deeply humane and heartfelt tale.
