Trama
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.
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.
