I didn’t get as much enjoyment out of this one as I did Life After Life. It has a little twist at the end, which I had wondered about from the beginning.
Quite a book! Most of it tells of Teddy's experience as an RAF pilot in WW2 which was fascinating. Also descriptions of relationships which were moving. However there were parts involving his wider family which were uninteresting and I skimmed through.

I read this book for a book club, and I picked it up a little too late, so I really had to rush through it and ended up skimming portions of it. I don't know how much that affected my unfavorable opinion of the book, but it likely played a part. I never got into it. I was really bored, I didn't find the characters interesting, and I wasn't all that impressed with the writing. I didn't like Atkinson's other book I read, Life After Life that much either, so maybe I'm just not a fan of her work.
