Life After Life/ Todd Family, Book 1 – Audiobook Online
Life After Life is a literary fiction book in the Todd Family series by author Kate Atkinson.
If you could live again and again until you got it right?
On a cold, snowy night in 1910, Ursula Todd was born to an English banker. She died before she could take her first breath. Ursula Todd was born, let out a pitiful cry, and embarked on a life that could at least be said to be out of the ordinary. As she grows older, she also dies, over and over, in different ways, while the young century moves on to a disastrous second world war.
Does Ursula’s apparently infinite number of lives give her the strength to save the world from its inevitable fate? And if she can – will she? Dark humor, amazingly poignant and completely original: this is Kate Atkinson at her best.
Life After Life is ambitious and epic in scope, encompassing nearly sixty years of tumultuous English history as seen through the eyes of Ursula Todd, who was born, died, reborn, died again, reincarnated and continued through a century. dangerous world, ever-changing in a cycle of death and rebirth until, one assumes, all is well. Its central conceit can be accused of being ostentatious, but Atkinson’s gift is to create characters that are all-encompassing, believable, and utterly compelling.
You grieve for them when they pass away, you cheer for them when they reappear in another timeline, it’s amazing. Meanwhile, her prose just shines, and I can’t remember the last time I read a book that made me laugh and laugh one moment and then hold my breath sadly the next time. There’s a lot going on here and you learn a lot about the people who made Britain’s modern history, but Atkinson delivered it all with genuine skill and compassion. dust and noise, balanced with the occasional small human moments and specially evoked beauty.
