![]() Atkinson's companion novel to her 2013 best-seller, Life After Life, brings back familiar characters and invents many new ones, but to different ends. It's only a tiny coda to the vivid story of the plane crash and the gunner's death, but the exchange still feels central to A God In Ruins. But Teddy claims it's tea, "not because she wouldn't have been interested but because it was a private thing." ![]() It's actually the blood of one of his World War II air crew, who died in his arms after their plane was shot down. It happens in passing, in half a sentence: She asks about the stain on an image of Teddy and his long-dead wife Nancy. The moment in Kate Atkinson's A God In Ruins when protagonist Teddy Todd lies to his granddaughter about an old photograph isn't a grand climax. ![]() Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
