Life After Life by Kate Atkinson


In Kate Atkinson’s unusual book, Ursula Todd lives an unusual life—repeatedly. Born in 1910, Ursula dies (repeatedly) and is born again—as herself. Each time, she has only a vague sense of déjà vu to guide her away from previous mistakes. Life after life, Ursula faces the questions we all do: What things are worth living for? What is worth dying for? And how far would you go to save the ones you love? Dazzling, inventive, and unexpected, this book will keep you on the edge of your seat—repeatedly.
