Product Information

WINNER OF THE 2013 COSTA NOVEL AWARD- the acclaimed number one bestselling novel about a woman who lives her life over and over again through the most turbulent events of the 20th century, including the London Blitz. 'Merging family saga with a fluid sense of time and an extraordinarily vivid sense of history at its most human level. A dizzying and dazzling tour de force' Daily Mail WINNER OF THE COSTA NOVEL AWARD- the acclaimed number one bestselling novel. 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, Kate Atkinson finds warmth even in life's bleakest moments, and shows an extraordinary ability to evoke the past. Here she is at her most profound and inventive, in a novel that celebrates the best and worst of ourselves.

Interesting that the author's name is more important than the title. Like the style of print
The book was used but in good condition. An unusual story that had me confused in parts! Really interesting though. Keeps you thinking

An imaginative story
If a cat has nine lives, Ursula Todd, the protagonist of Kate Atkinson’s “Life After Life”, has at least thirteen. Each death (e.g. strangulation by umbilical cord at birth in 1910, drowning in the sea, falling from a roof, four deaths from influenza in 1918, gas fire poisoning and several later demises during the blitz) is followed by rebirth on 11th February 1910 and a life which differs in various ways from its predecessors. We meet a large cast of characters, including an attractive father, a less than attractive older brother who later becomes a top civil servant and many of Ursula’s friends among whom is Eva Braun who introduces her to life on the Berghof in Bavaria where she meets Adolf Hitler. The latter part of the narrative takes place in London during the blitz and the story ... If a cat has nine lives, Ursula Todd, the protagonist of Kate Atkinson’s “Life After Life”, has at least thirteen. Each death (e.g. strangulation by umbilical cord at birth in 1910, drowning in the sea, falling from a roof, four deaths from influenza in 1918, gas fire poisoning and several later demises during the blitz) is followed by rebirth on 11th February 1910 and a life which differs in various ways from its predecessors. We meet a large cast of characters, including an attractive father, a less than attractive older brother who later becomes a top civil servant and many of Ursula’s friends among whom is Eva Braun who introduces her to life on the Berghof in Bavaria where she meets Adolf Hitler. The latter part of the narrative takes place in London during the blitz and the story concludes in the year 1967. For the most part Atkinson knows how to retain her reader’s attention, the story-line is highly imaginative and I thoroughly enjoyed her humorous asides (e.g. puns on “Pindar” and “Pinner”, the conclusion that “it seemed unlikely that Nietzsche had obtained anything from Pinner, least of all his beliefs” [p. 199] and the observation that a knowledge of the Classics well equips a person for a job opening and closing filing cabinet drawers [p. 302]). I am, however, slightly disappointed that no clear explanation is ever given of the metaphysical basis of “life after life”. There are occasional references to Nietzsche’s philosophy of recurrence (though nothing about the Stoics), Ursula’s doctor mentions doctrines of reincarnation (though without citing Plato) and Ursula herself offers the observation that time is a palimpsest (p. 589). Yet no one consistent ontological theory emerges, which in my view would strengthen “Life After Life”. The blitz scenes are graphically depicted and a bibliography is printed at the end of the book for readers who wish to pursue this aspect of English history. Nonetheless, because the principal figure in the story relives so many parallel scenes during the period 1940-41, this section becomes rather repetitive and tedious, e.g. the grisly fate of Lavinia Nesbit and the death of baby Emil. One further criticism is the frequent use of the ungrammatical “different to” instead of “different from” (e.g. p. 70, 316).
