This one took me longer than normal to read because I had to go back and reread paragraphs and pages and chapters again and again. Just to make sure I was understanding exactly what was happening. But that's not a bad thing! I was consumed by Life After Life. Consumed by Ursula and her family and her many lives. It's also one of those books that you have to keep putting down so you can Google historical occurrences or maps so you can get a proper grasp of the time. I felt much smarter after reading it. Kate Atkinson is one of the finest fiction writers of the 21st century. Her mind is intimidating and brilliant.
