Life After Life by Kate Atkinson
"A fug of tobacco smoke and damp clammy air hit her as she entered the cafe."
I'm not crazy about this opening. She starts off with something that actually happens much, much later in the book. I wish she'd started with Ursula's birth, as so many of the chapters do. (I know that sounds odd, "so many," but it makes sense within the context of the novel, trust me.)

The introduction sounds mysterious and that book cover is beautiful! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend!
