«Life After Life» is the historical novel by Kate Atkinson, published by Random House in paperback (624 pages, in English).
Ursula Todd is born in England in 1910 and lives the twentieth century again and again: in some lives she dies before taking a breath, in others she grows up and collides with both world wars. With irony and compassion, Kate Atkinson turns each repetition into a meditation on chance, memory, and the decisions that alter a destiny.
First installment of the Todd Family series and winner of the Costa Novel Award 2013; originally published in 2013.
Recommended for book clubs and for those seeking fiction with a speculative premise and an alternative-lives structure.
