Life After Life

Life After Life by Kate Atkinson  529 pp.

I don't know what to say about this book that hasn't already been said by Linda, Christa, and Kathleen. Ursula Todd is born and dies multiple times but manages to live through many of the important events of the 20th century. the story is engrossing but somewhat confusing. Characters, including Ursula, live or die depending on the circumstances of the next incarnation. Is it really happening or all in her head? Who knows. In all the episodes of her life she has the same family and grows up in the same home but the characters don't always act the same. This is a novel you keep reading because you want to see where the characters end up next.
