Normal Rules Don't Apply: Stories -- Kate Atkinson, Paperback
A collection of eleven interconnected stories from the bestselling, award-winning author of Shrines of Gaiety and Life After Life, "Stunning...A master class in literary worldbuilding... Full of speculative glee, but tinged with poignancy." ( Publishers Weekly)
Nothing is quite as it seems in this collection of eleven dazzling stories. We meet a queen who makes a bargain she cannot keep; a secretary who watches over the life she has just left; a man who bets on a horse that may--or may not--have spoken to him. Everything that readers love about the novels of Kate Atkinson is here--the inventiveness, the verbal felicity, the sharp observations on human nature, and the deeply satisfying emotional wallop.
A startling and funny feast for the imagination, these stories conjure a multiverse of subtly connected worlds while illuminating the webs of chance and connection among us all.
