About
A dazzling collection of eleven interconnected stories from the bestselling, award-winning author of “Shrines of Gaiety” and “Life After Life,” which offer the gimlet eye and delightful social critique that have made Atkinson one of the most lauded writers of our time.
In this brilliant volume, nothing is quite as it seems. We meet a queen who makes a bargain she cannot keep; a secretary who watches over the life she has just left; a lost 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.
Witty and wise, with subtle connections between the stories, “Normal Rules Don't Apply” is a startling and funny feast for the imagination, stories with the depth and bite to create their own fully-formed worlds.
