Life after life
It took me a while to get into this book but oh my goodness what an amazing listen I cried it’s excellent well worth reading
Superbly written
What an outstanding novel: beautifully written with the kind of character development where you can’t help but fall in love with “little bear” Ursula. This book had me both laughing out loud one moment and weeping the next - the writing is so emotive and thought provoking. I love Kate Atkinson’s books and this is my favourite so far.
Fenella Woolgar’s narration is beautifully flawless and she perfectly captures the tone of each character. Highly recommended.
