Good morning! I am really happy to be back to the normalcy of our regular Wednesday, with upcoming reads as the centerpiece. Check out Breaking the Spine to see what everyone is waiting for.
My pick today is a Kate Atkinson book to be released on April 2, 2013: Life After Life.
What if you could live again and again, until you got it right?
On a cold and snowy night in 1910, Ursula Todd is born to an English banker and his wife. She dies before she can draw her first breath. On that same cold and snowy night, Ursula Todd is born, lets out a lusty wail, and embarks upon a life that will be, to say the least, unusual. For as she grows, she also dies, repeatedly, in a variety of ways, while the young century marches on towards its second cataclysmic world war.
Does Ursula’s apparently infinite number of lives give her the power to save the world from its inevitable destiny? And if she can — will she?
Darkly comic, startlingly poignant, and utterly original — this is Kate Atkinson at her absolute best.

Yes, the most well-known series by this author features a detective named Jackson Brodie. Lots of good suspense. And I like that this one is different, but also looks like one I won’t be able to put down. Thanks for visiting, Bonnie.
