Life After Life – Kate Atkinson (Ukrainian Hardcover)

Life After Life by Kate Atkinson is an extraordinary literary novel that reinvents the notion of fate, choice, and existence. It tells the haunting and groundbreaking story of Ursula Todd, born in 1910 on a stormy night, who dies before she can take her first breath—only to be born again, time and again, in slightly altered patterns. With each reinvention, Ursula navigates alternate paths through pivotal moments of the 20th century: wars, family dramas, survival, and missed opportunities—all while carrying an uncanny awareness of her repeated lives.

Atkinson challenges conventional storytelling with a tapestry of hypothetical lives that Ursula inhabits, inviting readers to ponder destiny versus free will. This Ukrainian hardcover edition (from Наш Формат, 2023), spans 504 pages, presents a classic 140 × 210 mm size, and weighs approximately 530 g. The poignant translation by Yaroslava Strikha captures the novel’s dark humor, emotional depth, and philosophical intrigue. Life After Life is essential reading for fans of speculative fiction and introspective historical drama.
