WINNER OF THE 2015 COSTA NOVEL AWARD: Kate Atkinson's number one Sunday Times bestseller, even more brilliant and ambitious than Life After Life.
Klappentext zu „A God in Ruins “
Kate Atkinson's dazzling novel LIFE AFTER LIFE explored the possibility of infinite chances, as Ursula Todd lived through the events of the 20th century again and again. In this stunning companion novel, Atkinson turns to Ursula's brother Teddy - would-be poet and RAF bomber pilot. For all Teddy endures in battle, his greatest challenge will be to face living in a future he never expected to have.

Pressezitat
Triumphant...such a dazzling read...Atkinson gives Teddy's wartime experiences the full treatment in a series of thrilling set pieces. Even more impressive,though, is her ability to invest the more everday events with a similar grandeur...almost as innovative as Atkinson's technique in Life After Life - a possibly more authentic as an expression of how it feels to be alive...it ends on one of the most devastating twists in recent fiction...it adds a further level of overwhelming poignancy to an already extraordinarily affecting book.
