Life After Life
by Kate Atkinson
This book was fascinating as the main character lives successive, parallel lives. Along the way she becomes aware of this and starts to try to make changes and experiment. However, I was never sure why the changes in the last few lives recorded brought about a different ending. And even in the lives with the most satisfactory life choices, won't she just die and the good ending need to be redone again? In the end I was just left with a haunting, mysterious feeling about the whole thing. The details about life during WWII in London are fascinating and appalling. It was also interesting to see how some things changed from life to life and other choices stayed very much the same. My favorite consistency was the main character's closeness with her older sister despite their different life choices. This reminded me very much of my relationship with my younger sister.
