|author=Kate Atkinson
|title=Life After Life
|rating=Unreviewed5
|genre=Literary Fiction
|summary= We donSpanning the period from just before World War One to the end of World War Two, Kate Atkinson's ''t Life After Life'' tells the story of Ursula Todd. Or more accurately, it tells the potential stories of Ursula Todd. If you've seen the movie ''Sliding Doors'' then you will have some idea of the concept Atkinson explores; that of small changes in life leading to different outcomes, many of which lead to tragic endings but strangely the book manages to be a review celebration of this the spirit of Ursula and is often quite uplifting. It's a book yetthat sounds like it is going to be much more confusing than it is though and the result is a very special book indeed. It's that rare thing of a book that has a strong literary style but which is also very readable.
