Life After Life: A Novel by Kate Atkinson
What if you could live again and again, until you got it right? In Kate Atkinson’s darkly comic and startlingly poignant novel, Ursula Todd is born, dies, and is born again into the upheaval of the twentieth century.
On a cold and snowy night in 1910, Ursula Todd is born to an English banker and his wife. She dies before she can draw her first breath. On that same night, she is born again, lets out a lusty wail, and begins a life that will be, to say the least, unusual.
As Ursula grows, she dies repeatedly, in a variety of ways, while the young century hurtles toward its second cataclysmic world war. With each new life, she comes closer to understanding what might be changed—and what may be destined to happen.
Does Ursula’s seemingly infinite number of chances give her the power to save the world? And if she can, will she?
