Life After Life by Kate Atkinson is a brilliantly original and thought-provoking novel that reimagines the concept of second chances. Ursula Todd is born in 1910—and dies. Then she is born again, and again, living and reliving versions of her life through the turbulent events of the 20th century, including both World Wars. With each new life, Ursula gains faint echoes of her past paths and begins to make choices that could alter not just her fate, but the fate of the world. This stunning exploration of time, memory, and resilience became an international bestseller, won the Costa Book Award for Novel of the Year, and was named one of the 10 Best Books of the Year by The New York Times.
