Life After Life

Author: Kate Atkinson

Kate Atkinson’s “Life After Life” is a mesmerizing journey through time and possibility. I was captivated by Ursula Todd’s multiple lives, each a fresh chance to alter her fate. Atkinson’s prose is both elegant and accessible, weaving a tapestry of 20th-century history through one woman’s experiences. The novel’s structure is brilliantly disorienting, mirroring life’s unpredictability. It left me pondering the weight of our choices and the tantalizing “what-ifs” that shape our existence.

"Time isn't circular," she said to Dr. Kellet. "It's like a ... palimpsest."
