What if you had the chance to live your life again and again, until you finally got it right?

During a snowstorm in England in 1910, a baby is born and dies before she can take her first breath.

During a snowstorm in England in 1910, the same baby is born and lives to tell the tale.

What if there were second chances? And third chances? In fact an infinite number of chances to live your life? Would you eventually be able to save the world from its own inevitable destiny? And would you even want to?

Life After Life follows Ursula Todd as she lives through the turbulent events of the last century again and again. With wit and compassion, she finds warmth even in life's bleakest moments, and shows an extraordinary ability to evoke the past. Here isKate Atkinson at her most profound and inventive, in a novel that celebrates the best and worst of ourselves.

    I have never read any of Kate Atkinson's works before, but can't wait until I can get hold of a copy and read it. It has certainly gone to the top of my book wishlist.

    I loved the new Kate Atkinson. She is just such a fine writer, submerging you in her world with seemingly no effort. It was fascinating to consider different outcomes, and she managed to do that while still keeping the storyline incredibly strong. Highly recommended.
