Sinopsis

Condición del ejemplar: Good. What if you could live your life again and again, until you finally got it right? On a cold, snowy night in February 1910, Ursula Todd is born in an English country house and dies before she can take her first breath. On that same night, Ursula Todd is born again, cries out, and begins a life that will twist and branch in ways no one could predict. Each time she dies, the story rewinds and she is given another chance. Through countless lives, Ursula grows up in the long shadow of the twentieth century. She survives childhood accidents and the Spanish flu, comes of age between the wars, and lives through the terror of the London Blitz. With every new beginning she carries a faint, unsettling sense of déjà vu, a whisper of the lives she has already lived. And slowly a question takes shape: if she can learn from her many deaths, might she be able to change not only her own fate, but the course of history itself? Inventive, moving and often darkly funny, Kate Atkinson’s Costa Novel Award winner is a dazzling meditation on chance, family and the endless possibilities hidden inside a single life.
