  • Description

    Kate Atkinson’s fiction Life after Life is a blend of fantasy, dark wit and absolute originality. It treads along an uncommon path of a repeated cycle of birth, growth and death.

    Summary of the book

    Life after Life is the story of the female lead Ursula Todd who is born to an English family in 1910 and dies right after her birth. On the same night, she is born again to venture out on a journey which is bizarre. A journey which builds curiosity from the very beginning and keeps the readers gripped with Ursula’s recurrent births and demises in time. The tale unravels if this becomes a bane or a boon to her and if any good can come to the world from her and would she choose to, if she could.

    Karma in the times of the Fuhrer

    I chanced upon the name of this book in an Economist review, and it was a long wait till a reasonably priced version was available in Flipkart. It wait was worth its wight in gold :) Superbly constructed narrative, one that keeps you engaged no matter how convoluted the protagonist's new life. The whole cycle of birth and rebirth playing out till our Hero realises her one true calling. For the lovers of historical fiction set around the Second World War, this one is must read for the peek in...

    Life After Life : A book like none other
