A God in Ruins (Todd Family) (Literature & Fiction)

A God in Ruins (Todd Family) (Kate Atkinson) is set up as one continuous listen: cover, runtime, and a chapter list on the same page.

This striking companion to Kate Atkinson’s #1 crowd-pleaser Life After Life , “one of the best novels I’ve read this century” (Gillian Flynn), follows Ursula’s brother Teddy as he navigates an unknown future after a perilous war. “He had been reconciled to death during the war and then suddenly the war was over and there was a next day and a next day. Part of him never adjusted to having a future.” Kate Atkinson’s dazzling Life After Life explored the possibility of infinite chances and the power of choices, following Ursula Todd as she lived through the turbulent events of the last century over and over again. A God in Ruins tells the dramatic story of the 20th Century through Ursula’s beloved younger brother Teddy — would-be poet, heroic pilot, husband, father, and grandfather — as he navigates the perils and progress of a rapidly changing world. After all that Teddy endures in battle, his greatest challenge is living in a future he never expected to have. An ingenious and moving exploration of one ordinary man’s path through notable times, A God in Ruins proves once again that Kate Atkinson is one of the finest novelists of our age.
