Life After Life

Life After Life by Kate Atkinson, 2013.

This was a quick five day read in March 2014. It was  an interesting story of a woman with multiple lives. She keeps dying and then getting reborn again and again. It was very well written and very entertaining in a weird way of cheering on someone who keeps getting the chance to avoid various deaths.

It was also a fascinating historical fiction novel about World War II in England and about the people who lived through the horrifying times especially living during the London Blitz. 

I've always liked novels about multiple lives and living through multiple universes. This book does all take place in our historical universe but the idea of living over and over again and trying to get things right makes for an intriguing page turner.
