Great book – it starts slowly and mildly and then builds suspension and excitement as it goes – you won’t be able to put it down. It starts in 1911 with the birth of Ursula – and goes back and forth between her birth and World War II. I don’t want to give the plot away because it’s fun to slowly realize what is happening as it occurs in the book – but the time line is unconventional. The author Kate Atkinson has written many great books and this is her latest.
