Life After Life

Kate Atkinson (Get this book)
In a radical departure from her Jackson Brodie mystery series, Atkinson delivers a wildly inventive novel about Ursula Todd, born in 1910 and doomed to die and be reborn over and over again. She drowns, falls off a roof, and is beaten to death by an abusive husband but is always reborn back into the same loving family, sometimes with the knowledge that allows her to escape past poor decisions, sometimes not. Atkinson is working at the very top of her game. An audacious, thought-provoking novel from one of our most talented writers.--Booklist
