Once it had been the great forest of Lythe - a vast and impenetrable thicket of green.And here, in the beginning, lived the Fairfaxes, grandly, at Fairfax Manor, visited once by the great Gloriana herself.

But over the centuries the forest had been destroyed, replaced by Streets of Trees.The Fairfaxes have dwindled too; now they live in 'Arden' at the end of Hawthorne Close and are hardly a family at all.

But Isobel Fairfax, who drops into pockets of time and out again, knows about the past. She is sixteen and waiting for the return of her mother - the thin, dangerous Eliza with her scent of nicotine, Arpège and sex, whose disappearance is part of the mystery that still remains at the heart of the forest.

Eleştirmen yorumları

Vivid, richly imaginative, hilarious and frightening by turns
Huge, exhilarating, loving and detailed eruption of a novel...an utterly intoxicating display of novelistic elan...big and joyous, literary and accessible...storytelling at its buoyant best
Wonderfully eloquent and forceful Kate Atkinson goes at the same pace in her second novel as she did in her first...welcome back, wild north-easter...brilliant and engrossing
Vivid and intriguing...fizzles and crackles along...a tour de force
Part ghost story, part murder mystery, this is an exquisitely written, literary novel that reads as compellingly as any thriller
A stunner of a second novel...a gutsy book, wrenched from the heart and written with tremendous force, immersing you in its strange, eccentric world
The quirky imagination, subversive humour and instinct for domestic chaos that Atkinson displayed in her first novel...are rampantly evident again

Filled with the usual Atkinson wit and sharp observation. Brilliant conception. Did she pull it off? I wasn't totally sure, but fine entertainment even so.

Very clever, possibly even too clever

This was brilliant! The narration was absolutely perfect. I love the way Kate Atkinson creates complex characters and weaves such intricate stories. I was complete spellbound. I couldn’t stop listening . Can’t wait for her next book. Every other book seems very dull after this!

Wow! I love Kate Atkinson

Interesting concepts but found it confusing at times and hard to engage with. Didn't care much about many of the characters to listen at length. Maybe better to read the book rather than audio version. Have enjoyed many of the authors other titles so not giving up on her.

Not my favourite.

While KA always spins a great yarn, I rolled my eyes at the repeating ‘alternate life’ sequence as framed Life after Life. I did enjoy the baby unravelling at the end, though, and the narrator is great.

Repetitive theme
