Tallulah, Life After Life starts off a little slowly, but then it really hooks you in when she goes through World War II in London. It's fun to read something very different too. I've still got 50 pages to go, but it should be at least a four star book. I hope you enjoy it.

I really liked this one as well - the author is part of one of my groups and she donated a copy - i'm interested to see where the story goes in the future
