Death Comes for the Archbishop, by Willa Cather, 1927. I enjoyed this time travel book immensely. Did young Peter de Blois really find himself in 14th century Wales when he picked up the old "glove" while hiking around castle Carreg Cennen or did he dream those adventures? I do believe this is the longest book I have ever read. My old Penguin Classics edition clocks in at 989 pages, minus the Appendices and other back matter. Classic literature is my passion. I love the 19th/early 20th centuries. What the actual you know what??? Are you kidding me? Classic literature is my jam. I love the 19th century in particular. But the anti-Semitism/anti-Judaism gets hard sometimes. I truly believe context of the times should be taken into consideration. I know I am going to love this book!
