He has been implanted with an American accent for a trip he planned to Pearl Harbor but his assignment is switched, so he poses as an American reporter. Mike Davis (real name Michael Davies) is sent to Dover, to observe the evacuation of servicemen from Dunkirk.Her assignment is to observe children evacuated from London. Eileen O’Reilly (real name Merope Ward) works as a maid in a manor house in Backbury, Warwickshire.I am going spend more time on the characters. The time and place they come from is Oxford, England in 2060. They are historians who have assignments to go back to specific events in World War II in the year 1940. The story is centered on three time travelers. It was a wonderful read, very emotional at the end. The two books are really one book in two parts so I did end up reading both of them together, between March 24th and April 6th. After reading Doomsday Book in November 2017 and To Say Nothing of the Dog in December 2017, I put off the last two, Blackout and All Clear, until later in March. There are four novels in Connie Willis's Oxford Time Travel series and all of them are very long books.
