We meet a queen who makes a bargain she cannot keep; a secretary who watches over the life she has just left; a man who bets on a horse that may—or may not—have spoken to him. Everything that readers love about the novels of Kate Atkinson is here: the inventiveness, the verbal felicity, the sharp observations on human nature and the deeply satisfying emotional wallop. A startling and funny feast for the imagination, these stories conjure a multiverse of subtly connected worlds while illuminating the webs of chance and connection among us all.","brand":"Atkinson, Kate","offers":[{"title":"Hardback (Adult Fiction)","offer_id":46956091212000,"sku":"","price":21.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Paperback (Adult Fiction)","offer_id":47084780159200,"sku":"","price":13.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/BNCImageAPI_fc08d1e6-fcce-4ab0-a529-43aed250ae1b.jpg?v=1738526541","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/normal-rules-don-t-applybooks","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
