Just as good, if not better, than her last book, “Life After Life.” This novel follows Ursula Todd’s younger brother, Teddy, from childhood to WWII to marriage and a child to old age. Teddy, unlike Ursula, only has one life, a life he has lived for over nine decades as a thoroughly decent man. Surrounded by a group of wonderfully well-drawn secondary characters, Teddy navigates life’s highs and lows with love, humor and sensitivity. A God’s Ruins was so good, I did not want to finish it.
