About this book
Exhausted historian Ned Henry needs a holiday from time travel and an obsessive search connected to Coventry Cathedral. A supposedly restful visit to Victorian England instead draws him into boating excursions, romantic misunderstandings, and a possible disruption of history. Another traveller, Verity Kindle, has brought back something she should not have, and correcting the mistake proves anything but straightforward. Oxford's future historians must navigate nineteenth-century manners alongside the stubborn complications of causality. This leisurely, intricately constructed comedy blends historical detail, literary allusions, and an expanding cast of eccentrics into a puzzle where apparently trivial events may matter enormously.
