This is simply un-put-downable,it defies all classification,it`s funny,it`s a murder mystery,it`s a human interest story,it is better than the sum of its parts. A child witnesses the brutal killing of her mother and siblings. Thirty years later,the murderer is released. A thrilling chain of events ensues but it is never(ever!!!) predictable. Kate Atkinson has avoided the formulaic and the cliche to deliver a stunningly brilliant novel . Her characters are all slightly off-centre ,slightly disturbed(or downright odd) but she imbues them with such ordinary humanity that you will love them. A joyful,life-enhancing coup -de-maitre..
