“She should have done science, not spent all her time with her head in novels. Novels gave you a completely false idea about life, they told lies and they implied there were endings when in reality there were no endings, everything just went on and on and on.”

Kate Atkinson, Case Histories
Dawn H. Roberts
“Atkinson is a truly gifted writer who weaves together intricate, seemingly unrelated plots and characters in really interesting ways. I also love her wit and humanism.”
