This book is at first very bizarre. How does one person's life affect all of those around her? Ursula is the main character and focus of the story. As a young child, she drowns. Then she dies falling from a roof. Then she dies as a teen in the Spanish flu epidemic. Then she is killed by an abusive husband... Each time, she is born into the same family on the same date and in the same year. And each time, as her life progresses to those mistakes, her subconscious recognizes them and she makes a small change, thus causing a detour in her circumstances, so that it does not happen at all, or is changed is some way. The reader sees her life repeated over and over, with the tiny changes that allow her to move on to her later life. The main part of her adult life is during WW11. I could not have predicted how this book would end! When it did, I found the ending to be a big surprise and richly rewarding. An amazing story! D.
