The first story collection from Kate Atkinson in twenty years, Normal Rules Don't Apply is a dazzling array of eleven interconnected tales from the bestselling author of Shrines of Gaiety and Life After Life
In this first full collection since Not the End of the World, we meet a queen who makes a bargain she cannot keep; a secretary who watches over the life she has just left; 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, a constantly changing multiverse in which nothing is quite as it seems.

It’s a collection of interconnected, quirky stories, set within different genres. Every story surprised me with how much I enjoyed it, it’s oddness, offbeat approach and sheer surrealism! I mean, I LOVE an odd story, and this collection most certainly delivered! I’m really glad I picked this book up!
Stand out story: The Void (it’s apocalyptic!).
