books by Kate Atkinson     books:       Abandonment1 review Kate Atkinson Nick Hern Books, 2001 An excellent play that tells two linked stories "Abandonment," be Kate Atkinson, is a play that switches back and forth in time to tell two connected stories. The opening pages of the book note that the play was first performed at the Traverse Theater in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2000; also noted is the fact that the author lives in Edinburgh. The play opens with Elizabeth, a contemporary woman who works as a historian and lives in a converted ...             Behind The Scenes At The Museum102 reviews Kate Atkinson Black Swan, 1997 Haunting hat trick - surreal and yet real; hyper tragic yet heartwarming This is a weird and wonderful and amazingly talented bit of writing. I'm not surprised to see the controversy in the reviews here on Amazon. Behind the Scenes at the Museum is a difficult story emotionally - and uses some extremely unconventional tropes and techniques that can be hard to swallow. But it is a brilliant depiction of family dynamics, English culture, and the weird twisted nature ...             One Good Turn58 reviews Kate Atkinson Doubleday, 2006 "Boxes within boxes, dolls within dolls, worlds within worlds..." In the second of her Jackson Brodie series (after Case Histories: A Novel and before When Will There Be Good News?: A Novel), Kate Atkinson creates a series of bizarre characters, all involved with murder--either planning it, committing it, or trying to avoid it. Many seemingly unrelated characters, involved in several seemingly unrelated plot lines, make their appearance in the first fifty ...             Not the End of the World7 reviews Kate Atkinson Doubleday, 2002 Witty and Wonderful I'm not normally a short story fan, preferring something "meatier", but I gobbled up this collection like a treat. I've re-discovered Kate Atkinson with her last two wonderful "mystery" novels, "Case Histories" and "One Good Turn" and am now going back to her earlier work. This collection is sharp, surprising, very witty, intelligent and thought-provoking.             Human Croquet32 reviews Kate Atkinson Harpercollins U, 1998 Amazing and Absorbing I found myself overwhelmed by this story and atmosphere in which it was told. Every now and then I had to just stop reading and absorb the newest information. Kate Atkinson's writing is multidimensional and stunning, as she interwove times, people, and plots so that they were overlaid upon each other...yet not. I am amazed that anyone can write like this. Now I will have to re-read the book ...             Emotionally Weird: A Novel29 reviews Kate Atkinson Picador, 2001 Charming and Funny I completely enjoyed Emotionally Weird. I think I giggled from start to finish. The major part of the book is a very funny sendup of university life, as applicable now as in the 70s, just replace Klingons with Xbox, or other games. All the professors are skewered as well, and everyone, it seems, is a writer (doesn't it seem that way, though?), except for the vampiric Terri, who proves to have ...             When Will There Be Good News?: A Novel13 reviews Kate Atkinson Little, Brown and Company, 2008 (4.5) "Love was ferocious, love knew how to play dirty." "Run, Joanna. Run." So begins this riveting novel, a small girl witness to a harrowing crime that, thirty years later, once more intrudes upon the security of an innocent victim who has remade the past into a sustainable present. On a jagged trajectory, a convicted criminal is released, a former cop accidentally detours into Edinburgh, a train crash and a rendezvous with fate and a ...             Case Histories144 reviews Kate Atkinson Doubleday, 2004 A read-again book I am a huge reader. When I was a child I would close a good book and immediately start it again. I haven't done this for 30 years until this book. The first time through, I read it for the pure joy of good storytelling. I went straight back to the beginning to see how she did it! It is that good.             Emotionally Weird: A Novel Kate Atkinson Diane Pub Co, 2000 An original comic narrative that explores the nonsensical power of language & meaning. On a weather-beaten island off the coast of Scotland, Effie & her mother, Nora, take refuge in the house of their ancestors & tell each other stories. Nora, at first, recounts who Effie's real father was. Effie tells various versions of her life at college, where in fact she lives in a lethargic relationship with Bob, a student who never goes to lectures & ...             Not the End of the World Kate Atkinson Little, Brown, 2003             Emotionally Weird~Kate Atkinson Kate Atkinson Bantam Press, 2000             How to Write a Guideline from Start to Finish: A Handbook for Healthcare Professionals Richard Bowker, Monica Lakhanpaul, ...
