Normal Rules Don’t Apply by Kate Atkinson

In this collection we meet 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. Witty and wise, with subtle connections between the stories, ‘Normal Rules Don’t Apply’ is a startling , and funny feast for the imagination. In Kate Atkinson’s world nothing is over until ‘the talking dog speaks’.
