I very much enjoyed Life After Life by Kate Atkinson which features a character, Ursula, born in 1910. Ursula's life story is told in a number of different scenarios. Firstly, the story of her birth, then situations that occur throughout her life, especially relating to her involvement in World War II. Ursula has a "gift" (or is it a curse) that she can see her different lives and finds some of the results disturbing, so resolves to change them, change history. This is an unusual book where Ursula meets her "end" a number of times, but it is fascinating to read once you get used to what is happening. The story shows how your life can be changed by even the smallest decisions you make. It is a very enjoyable and "different" read. 41/2/5Sunday, January 12, 2014
