In Fry's most serious novel to date, he poses the question: What if Hitler
had never been born? An experiment to prevent his birth is undertaken by a
history graduate student and an aging German physicist. It will change the
course of history, but will it create a better world? With characteristic brilliance
and wit, Fry presents an alternate history that is both trenchant and deeply
affecting.
