Wheelock Book Club
Wheelock Book Club
Join the Wheelock Book Club for a discussion of Life After Life by Kate Atkinson. Pick up a copy at the November meeting for the January discussion About the book: What if you could live again and again until you got it right? On a cold and snowy night in 1910, Ursula Todd is born to an English banker and his wife. She dies before she can draw her first breath. On that same cold and snowy night, Ursula Todd is born, lets out a lusty wail, and embarks upon a life that will be, to say the least, unusual. For as she grows, she also dies, repeatedly, in a variety of ways, while the young century marches on towards its second cataclysmic world war. Does Ursula's apparently infinite number of lives give her the power to save the world from its inevitable destiny? And if she can - will she? Copies of Life After Life are available in multiple formats. Please call the library for assistance with locating or reserving a copy, at 253-280-2800. Copies are also available at Wheelock while they last.
