The first story collection from Kate Atkinson in twenty years, Normal Rules Don't Apply is a dazzling array of eleven interconnected tales from the bestselling author of Shrines of Gaiety and Life After Life

In this first full collection since Not the End of the World, we meet a queen who makes a bargain she cannot keep; a secretary who watches over the life she has just left; a man whose luck changes when a horse speaks to him.

With clockwork intricacy, inventiveness and sharp social observation, Kate Atkinson conjures a feast for the imagination, a constantly changing multiverse in which nothing is quite as it seems.

What really binds these stories is their underlying theme, which has perhaps always been Atkinson’s true subject: the nature of storytelling itself. She can be very funny, but she is highly serious about the idea that human existence is bound up with words… If you’re thinking about what fiction means, no invocation could be more thought-provoking or ironically complex
What joy! A loosely connected collection of short stories from Kate Atkinson. Life in all of its surreal, tragic and comic glory is perfectly captured within these pages.
Sublime … showcases her superb storytelling and the wit of her writing
All kinds of stories are inside these tales – fairy stories, creation myths, fantasy, Bible stories, tabloid headlines, soaps, movies and crime. Atkinson’s sly humour percolates all the way through, but there’s also humanity, hope and forgiveness... The simplicity of the short story form belies the book’s multi-layered approach. As soon as you get to the end, you’ll be tempted to just start at the beginning again to see the nuances you missed first time round, and tease out the threads that run between each tale.
Hilarious, breathtaking, horrific, irresistible ... [Atkinson is] always in command ... Heart in mouth, I never wanted this book to end
Atkinson has the happy knack of capturing the nature of her characters with arch aplomb
Dazzling ... Most striking of all is the abiding sense of infectious, slightly bonkers fun.
A deftly interconnected short-story collection [that is] varied and inventive
Funny, erudite and profound
Here you will find lots of tricks, lots of playfulness, clever narrative engineering.

I found it hard to follow as the narration was too fast. I'm sure I would enjoy the book.

Sadly was bored very quickly and couldn't finish. Shame, but will try another as I usually enjoy this author's work.

Usually live Kate Atkinson's work but not this time.

Wasn’t sure at first but the further along I got the more I loved it. It all intertwines and I think that’s what made it for me! I might need to listen again to better understand.

Loved it in the end
