Hugo 2020 Nominations (Best Novelette);
"The Archronology of Love"

My favorite part was, undoubtedly, the quotations at the top of each new section, where the aliens were talking. I felt so engrossed by the compassion and older-mind being displayed. I, also, really loved the idea of the technology that would let you go back in time and space to specific places, and, then, dangerously, to touch the future, too.

I felt more distant from the main character than I wanted to be in this. Our main character is deeply professional during the day, and imbedded in her grief at night. The reunion was poignant but unexpected, and I like that even then there was a deep divide between the then-and-now, even in the far-future of neither. One second where they could almost touch, and say goodbye.
