Audiobook: Well! Normal rules definitely don’t apply in the collection of short stories that are interwoven together. Kate Atkinson’s writing is as clever and funny and excellent as ever. Stories range from folklore to dystopia but common characters or plot points keep popping up throughout. There were a few favourites but this is a book I will need to buy in print and sit down and read again. So much going on, laugh out loud moments and some shocking twists. Well done Kate 👏👏👏
