What Life After Life is like to read
A novel of infinite do-overs across the first half of the twentieth century, circling one woman's births and deaths as history bears down toward another war. The reading experience is patterned and recursive rather than linear, asking whether any single life can bend the century's fate. Best for: readers who love braided, recursive structures and philosophical historical fiction about war, chance, and second chances.
