Flynn masterfully weaves together the story of a medieval German village, a visit to this planet by aliens from a distant world and modern day physics research. It may not sound like these things would fit together so beautifully, but they do.
Eifelheim is a German village that mysteriously disappeared at about the time of the black death. That is not so strange, but what is strange is that it has never been resettled. This strange fact catches the attention of a modern day historian who begins researching the obscure town. His wife a physicist is doing research of her own that wouldn't seem to intersect his researches, but things are not always what they seem in Eifelheim.
Much of the story is set in the medieval German town and concerns the lives of its residents and center on Father Dietrich, the local priest. Eifelheim tells the story of the small town and what happens when some strangers from very far away come to visit.
The depth of the characters, the richness of the history and the excellent writing make for a story that is powerful and believable despite its imaginative premise

Fantasy with thought
Have you ever wondered what beings from another planet would do if they had crashed in medieval Germany? I never had, but Michael Flynn wrote about such an encounter, and how the encounter is discovered by a modern day scientist. This is a captivating book with remarkable characters that stay in a reader's heart long after the book is finished.
