\"DSC_0003\"<\/a>Case Histories<\/a>, by Kate Atkinson<\/i><\/p>\n

When you love an author’s writing,\u00a0really\u00a0<\/em>love it, it’s worth the gamble to go ahead and buy another of her books. A while back my friend Kim lent me her copy of Atkinson’s\u00a0Life After Life<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and it has stuck with me ever since I finished it months and months ago. I love her writing style, her witty style and deep character development. She is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors, one whom I know will satisfy my mental state no matter what it is. I’m always in the mood to read Atkinson.<\/p>\n

Case Histories\u00a0<\/em>is no disappointment. I am 75 or so pages in and completely hooked. I’m not even sure where this book is going (there is a fascinating mystery), but so far, it has me wondering and turning pages and sitting in the carpool line at my boys’ school oblivious to everything else while I try to catch one more glimpse of what’s going on. It’s dark and surprising, two of my favorite things in a novel. I’m trying to savor this one, as I know that I will be sad when I finish it, much like I was with\u00a0Life after Life,\u00a0<\/em>but it’s hard to savor something you’re so excited to devour!<\/p>\n
