I am absolutely gripped by Life after Life, by Kate Atkinson. It's going to be a new drama series on BBC2 starting next Tuesday, and when the write up for it said it was based on a book I downloaded it - and have had my nose stuck into it every spare moment since!

It's about a girl called Ursula, set in the first half of the last century, as she lives the same life over and over, with changes each time. I'm about two thirds through 8-) 8-) 8-)

Kaz, I found that so depressing I actually gave up

I'm not keen on Kate Atkinson, bit too quirky for me

Ah well, it would be boring if we all enjoyed the same things :) I have just finished it - loved it :D

It looks a good 'un!

Not entirely sure where I got the pet shop bit from reading the description, but pretty sure it was Behind the Scenes at the Museum
