A review by paperback_cat
Life After Life by Kate Atkinson
Did not finish book.
This just wasn't for me, but I can see that it might be enjoyable for people who like historical fiction.
I did think it did a good job of not being boring during the repeated retellings of parts of her life, but it was still focussing on details that didn't interest me and making slow progress on the plot overall. The main character also doesn't have a lot of agency despite having foreknowledge of events, which I found frustrating even though I suspect it might have been the point the book was trying to make.
