Una y otra vez
(Book)

"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? Darkly comic, startlingly poignant, and utterly original -- this is Kate Atkinson at her absolute best."--,Provided by publisher.

Que Ursula Todd muera a las pocas horas de nacer en una casa de campo inglesa a principios de 1910 y que, a la vez, el medico llegue a tiempo para salvarla son dos hechos perfectamente compatibles a Una y Otra Vez, una novela que ofrece siempre dos alternativas a su protagonista. Asi, Ursula tendra varias oportunidades de cambiar su destino, el de su familia e incluso el de toda Europa. Y no se trata solo de vivir un nueva vida, sino de hacer algo con lo que la mayoria hemos sonado alguna vez: borrar los episodios del pasado que hablan mal de nosotros.
