Kate Atkinson es una reconocida autora británica que en 1995 ganó el premio Whitbread por su primera novela, Entre bastidores, a la que siguieron Juegos de interior y Una historia singular. Con su incursión en el género policíaco, Atkinson creó al detective Jackson Brodie, un espléndido personaje que protagoniza Esperando noticias (Lumen, 2011) y Me desperté temprano y saqué al perro (Lumen, 2013), cuyas aventuras han sido llevadas a la pequeña pantalla por la BBC. Con la novela Una y otra vez (Lumen, 2014), vuelta de la autora a la ficción pura y dura, Atkinson obtuvo el aplauso del público y la crítica, por ello es uno de los 100 mejores libros del siglo según The New York Times. Fue galardonada con el premio Costa Book Award y el South Bank Sky Arts Award, además de ser escogida por The New York Times como uno de los diez mejores libros del año y uno de los cien mejores del siglo XXI.

'Atkinson's finest work, and confirmation that her genre-defying writing continues to surprise and dazzle' Observer
A God in Ruins relates the life of Teddy Todd – would-be poet, heroic World War II bomber pilot, husband, father, and grandfather – as he navigates the perils and progress of the 20th century. For all Teddy endures in battle, his greatest challenge will be to face living in a future he never expected to have.
This gripping, often deliriously funny yet emotionally devastating book looks at war – that great fall of Man from grace – and the effect it has, not only on those who live through it, but on the lives of the subsequent generations. It is also about the infinite magic of fiction. Few will dispute that it proves once again that Kate Atkinson is one of the most exceptional novelists of our age.
