From Connie Willis, winner of multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards, comes a comedic romp through an unpredictable world of mystery, love, and time travel . . . Ned Henry is badly in need of a rest. He’s been shuttling between the 21st century and the 1940s searching for a Victorian atrocity called the bishop's bird stump. It’s part of a project to restore the famed Coventry Cathedral, destroyed in a Nazi air raid over a hundred years earlier. But then Verity Kindle, a fellow time traveler, inadvertently brings back something from the past. Now Ned must jump back to the Victorian era to help Verity put things right—not only to save the project but to prevent altering history itself.

This is a very amusing book, especially for those who have read Three Men in A Boat. I think Jerome leaves Willis in the dust for outright belly laughs, but this book did have me smiling a lot.
I got this book in an unexpected book trade with someone, and enjoyed the read. It's subtly amusing - if you're not looking for the humor, you probably won't find it, but also a fun story.
Another time travl book by Connie Willis. Very amusing but not as fabulous as the Doomsday Book. A series of misunderstandings, in multiple times, is downright hysterical. Another poor student is sent into the past to make sure that the present doesn't get impacted by the accidental transport of a CAT from the 19th century to the 21st century
