Books by Kate Atkinson
“If I had to have a favourite, it would be this. Life After Life poses the question: what could happen if you could start life over and over again, until you get things right?

Only parts are set during the Second World War, but they are quite extraordinary—really raw, really graphic, and actually quite hard to read. Structurally, it’s a very ambitious novel. It’s quite a thing to pull the rug out from under the reader over and over again—and to get away with it, which is what Atkinson achieves with this book.” Read more...
