Life after Life/ Kate Atkinson/ 512

Life after Life by Kate Atkinson will appeal to multiple audiences.  This book blends historical fiction with time travel in a unique way.  Ursula Todd is born, and dies, on a wintry day in 1910.  It would be a very short story except that Ursula is born and dies many times.  Each time she returns she has a little knowledge or a 'feeling' about what could happen.  With her knowledge will Ursula be able to avoid the evils of the world?  What about the great evil and war that arrives in the 1940's?  Can Ursula change the course of history for her loved one's benefit?  For more information and read a likes please visit the SCCCLD website.
