multuous era in which he lived: first-century
Palestine, an age awash in apocalyptic fervor.

What if you could live again and again until

draw her first breath. On that same snowy
night, Ursula Todd is born, lets out a lusty
wail, and embarks upon a life that will be, to
say the least, unusual. For as she grows, she
also dies, repeatedly, in a variety of ways.
Darkly comic, startlingly poignant and utterly
original.
