NORMAL RULES DON'T APPLY
Welcome to a world, where nothing is quite what it seems
In these pages, you'll meet, among others, a queen who makes a bargain she cannot keep, a secretary who watches over the life she has just left, and a man whose luck changes when a horse speaks to him.
With clockwork intricacy, inventiveness and sharp social observation, Kate Atkinson conjures a feast for the imagination in a constantly changing multiverse.
Atkinson's first short story collection in twenty years, Normal Rules Don't Apply is a dazzling array of eleven interconnected tales.
