Connie Willis has 15 past events. (show)  Great Novels of the 22nd Century Reading Group: The Doomsday Book Left Bank Books Join us for a reading group discussion of The Doomsday Book by Connie Willis!For Kivrin, preparing an on-site study of one of the deadliest eras in humanity's history was as simple as receiving inoculations against the diseases of the fourteenth century and inventing an alibi for a woman traveling alone. But a crisis strangely linking past and future strands Kivrin in a bygone age as her fellows try desperately to rescue her. In a time of superstition and fear, Kivrin—barely of age herself—finds she has become an unlikely angel of hope during one of history's darkest hours.
Parking: Lots one block north and one block east; street parking (meters free after 7pm).
