I give up. I love Connie Willis, but this book is not where it's at. Generations have come and gone since I started this book. I'd read two pages, get bored, play sporcle. Read two more pages wherein the three identical main characters blather about what? Navy colored skirts and not finding an automobile? Then my child would wake up from a nap and Blackout would sit forgotten until I ‘d fire up iBooks again and groan inwardly.

I gave her the benefit of the doubt for 400 pages because I dearly love her, but no more.

The two stars I give this book are for the description of inflatable tanks used by the British army as a decoy for German planes. I'd never heard of that and found that totally awesome.
