Synopsis:
|
Kivrin, a history student, is sent back in time to the Middle Ages to study the time period but is trapped there when epidemics in the community she has arrived in and the university she has left behind create chaos.
|
Verdict:
|
At first I thought it might be a bit cold and analytical but once I got into it I saw how vivid and well researched it was. The historical details are fitted into the plot well so it didn’t feel didactic and the layers of drama gave it a constant urgency.
