A Special Sneak Peek Of Kate Atkinson's New Book


Randy Hickernell, our local rep, and Regan Arthur

Some lucky TC staff got a chance to have lunch with the amazing Reagan Arthur of Regan Arthur Books.  She came introduce us to Kate Atkinson's new book, coming out in early April 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.

While you are waiting for this to come out, catch up on some of Atkinson's backlist HERE.
