I’ve put together a guide to the Oxford Time Travel stories as a separate page here on the ConnieWillis.net Blog. So, if you are confused about what stories are part of this group, here’s a good place to start.
It also includes a link to an online copy of the short story Fire Watch as well as a link to an audio dramatization of it. Since the events in the short story are referenced in All Clear, it might be good to refresh your memory with a quick read or listen to the short story that started it all.

I just finished All Clear (which I greatly enjoyed) and I have a question about how to interpret the last two pages about what Polly suddenly realizes about Colin. Is Colin Eileen grandson? If so, did Eileen marry Vicar Goode? I had assumed Stephen Lang married Paige Fairchild until those last two pages.

I’ve just finished Blackout/All Clear and am still marveling at the brilliance and depth of all CW’s time travel novels.
More importantly, I think Steven Moffat seriously should be begging and pleading Connie Willis to write a script or two for Matt Smith’s Doctor.
