5 stars
I love Kate Atkinson's witty and insightful writing. This novel is a companion novel to her book Life After Life and while written in a different style, it is similar in tone. Teddy was everyone's favorite Todd child growing up. Sweet and precocious, he was an adventurous nature lover. He was lost in a boring bank job with his father when World War II begins and he becomes a bomber where the life expectancy is very low. I loved that the characters fates were slowly unlocked as Teddy, his daughter Viola, and other family member's memories were explored. I especially liked how this book interwoven with Life After Life. I can see how this book may not appeal to everyone but after reading these two books, I am ready to delve into everything Atkinson has ever written. I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in a giveaway.
