內容簡介
一九一〇年,一個寒冷飄雪的夜晚,英國銀行家的女兒厄蘇拉.托德誕生了。她在呼吸到第一口空氣前便不幸夭折;然而在同一個雪夜,她卻又順利發出響亮的啼哭,踏上了極不平凡的旅程。隨著二十世紀笨重地邁向第二次世界大戰的深淵,厄蘇拉也在成長過程中以各種方式經歷無數次死亡與重來。這份彷彿無窮無盡的生命輪迴,是否給予了她扭轉世界命運的力量?而她又是否會選擇出手相救?
 
What if you had the chance to live your life again and again, until you finally got it right?

During a snowstorm in England in 1910, a baby is born and dies before she can take her first breath.
During a snowstorm in England in 1910, the same baby is born and lives to tell the tale.

What if there were second chances? And third chances? In fact an infinite number of chances to live your life? Would you eventually be able to save the world from its own inevitable destiny? And would you even want to?
