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":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47918095958256,"sku":"9780593469880","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780593469880_p0.jpg?v=1763722134","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780593469880","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
