On Friday I finished a book I've been reading for a few weeks now.
I was very confused at the beginning. The book description read;
What if you had the chance to live your life again and again, until you finally got it right?
During a snowstorm in England in 1910, a baby is born and dies before she can take her first breath.
During a
snowstorm in England in 1910, the same baby is born and lives to tell the tale.
What if there were
second chances? And third chances? In fact an infinite number of chances to
live your life? Would you eventually be able to save the world from its own
inevitable destiny? And would you even want to?
Life After Life follows Ursula Todd as she lives through the
turbulent events of the last century again and again. With wit and compassion,
Kate Atkinson finds warmth even in life's bleakest moments, and shows an
extraordinary ability to evoke the past. Here she is at her most profound and
inventive, in a novel that celebrates the best and worst of ourselves.
Eventually I was absolutely captivated. The story began to add up and I couldn't put the book down. I was incredibly impressed with the writing style (I say this like author's aren't professionals but you know what I mean... it was an very complex writing structure.) It was a story that was both sad and beautiful.So anyway, today saw me having a new haircut. It was the shortest cut I've had in about 10 years so I was a bit scared! I had Tony from Arthur Razor cut if off. He's a barber based in West London, both friend and client. We are currently re-designing his website which you can see live soon at www.arthurrazor.com. He's cut Dan's hair for almost a year now and always done an amazing job. He's cut the likes of Colin Firth as well. Oooh la la.
See some snaps of my new look!
