Kate Atkinson’s fiction Life after Life is a blend of fantasy, dark wit and absolute originality. It treads along an uncommon path of a repeated cycle of birth, growth and death. Summary of the book Life after Life is the story of the female lead Ursula Todd who is born to an English family in 1910 and dies right after her birth. On the same night, she is born again to venture out on a journey which is bizarre. A journey which builds curiosity from the very beginning and keeps the readers gripped with Ursula’s recurrent births and demises in time. The tale unravels if this becomes a bane or a boon to her and if any good can come to the world from her and would she choose to, if she could. About Kate Atkinson Kate was born in the United Kingdom. Her debut novel Behind the Scenes at the Museum won the Whitbread Book of the Year Award. Another work – When will there be Good News? - was voted the Richard and Judy Book Best Read of the year.
