This is a companion novel to Life After Life - a previous bestseller novel by the talented author, Kate Atkinson. The story turns its focus from Ursula Todd's turbulent live to her beloved brother Teddy. In this audio book, Teddy's extraordinary wartime experiences as a Halifax pilot is narrated so vividly - the audience can really feel the intensity. It is combined with the relationships with his wife, his awful daughter Viola, his grandchildren, his mother and also, his sister, Ursula. Death in the story appears in many guises, often with the random violence of war. This unabridged version is brilliantly brought to life by Alex Jennings whose narrator and British accents are commendable. He manages to portray the depth of the plot and complexity of the characters superbly. The timeframe moves effortlessly in good pace with authentic historical accounts and a hint of humour. The winner of 2015 Costa Novel Award has a twist at the end after it is thoroughly engaging and enjoyable.
