Review: Even though I haven't completely read this book, but I suggest for people that read historical fiction and enjoy reading alternate history, its like alternate universe but not really. This book is a pretty good take on historical era that it deals with and doesnt just focus on history but also the lives of the characters in detail, to the point that you sometimes get jealous of the main character because she was able to live her life again and again until she got it right or until she fulfilled her purpose, the purpose she was supposed to deal, or whether she decides not the deal with that purpose and live selfishly, and only for herself. All in all it was beautifully described and worded, so give this novel a try even if you havent read historical fiction before. I bet this novel could get you into historical fiction!
Book Blurb:
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?
