About the author

Connie Willis

256 books4,698 followers
Constance Elaine Trimmer Willis is an American science fiction writer. She is one of the most honored science fiction writers of the 1980s and 1990s.

She has won, among other awards, ten Hugo Awards and six Nebula Awards. Willis most recently won a Hugo Award for All Seated on the Ground (August 2008). She was the 2011 recipient of the Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction Writers of America (SFWA).

She lives in Greeley, Colorado with her husband Courtney Willis, a professor of physics at the University of Northern Colorado. She also has one daughter, Cordelia.

Willis is known for her accessible prose and likable characters. She has written several pieces involving time travel by history students and faculty of the future University of Oxford. These pieces include her Hugo Award-winning novels Doomsday Book and To Say Nothing of the Dog and the short story "Fire Watch," found in the short story collection of the same name.

Willis tends to the comedy of manners style of writing. Her protagonists are typically beset by single-minded people pursuing illogical agendas, such as attempting to organize a bell-ringing session in the middle of a deadly epidemic (Doomsday Book), or frustrating efforts to analyze near-death experiences by putting words in the mouths of interviewees (Passage).

💛Très bonne suite et fin.

RAPPEL TOME 1 :
Joanna Lander est psychologue dans un hôpital et dirige une enquête approfondie sur les EMI (expériences de mort imminente) auprès des patients de son hôpital.
Le neurologue Richard Wright lui propose de participer à des expériences in-vivo sur les EMI...
FIN DU RAPPEL.

Dans ce deuxième tome, Joanna se dévoue toujours corps et âme à son travail : elle en oublie même de manger et ne vit que pour son étude.
Elle en est complètement obsédée.
Elle recherche absolument le lien entre les EMI et le Titanic. C'est une véritable obsession qui commence à la rendre malade...

-------------------------------

Dans ce 2è et dernier tome, Joanna dépérit à cause de son travail.
Son obsession la rend malade.

Heureusement qu'elle trouve de l'aide grâce à Kit, la nièce de son ancien professeur, et à Maisie, touchante petite patiente de cardiologie...

Un évènement absolument dramatique survient au milieu du livre. Quel dommage....

Un roman prenant et distrayant, lu rapidement malgré les longueurs.

A lire !

下巻は、テンポが速くなり、結構面白く読めました。

が、どこで感動したらいいのか、全く分からずじまいでした。
やはり、私に涙はないみたいです。
