I really enjoyed that one too. Another one of hers that I read a long time ago is "The Doomsday Book" which takes place mostly in the time of the great plague. Willis writes entertaining fiction that can be enjoyed by many. My daughter read "Doomsday" in the third grade. Willis is humorous and can handle devilishly complicated plot ideas quite well. She also does not fill her books with British idioms like some UK writers; a great relief to US readers.
