Description

New York, New York, U.S.A. : Reagan Arthur Books, 2013. First U.S. Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Signed by author ontitle page in blakc fountain ink.On a cold and snowy night in 1910, Ursula Todd is born, the third child of a wealthy English banker and his wife. Sadly, 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 any number of ways. Clearly history (and Kate Atkinson) have plans for her: In Ursula rests nothing less than the fate of civilization. LIFE AFTER LIFE won the Coasta Award as Best Novel. it was also nominated for both the Walter Scott Prize Best Historical Nove and the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction Best Book. LIFE AFTER LIFE is the first book in the Todd family saga. Wildly inventive, darkly comic, startlingly poignant -- this is Kate Atkinson at her absolute best, playing with time and history, telling a story that is breathtaking for both its audacity and its endless satisfactions. As new, unread, first edition, first printing, in as new, mylar-protected dust jacket. *Packed carefully and shipped in a box to insure arrival in the best condition.
