We meet a queen who makes a bargain she cannot keep; a secretary who watches over the life she has just left; a man who bets on a horse that may—or may not—have spoken to him. Everything that readers love about the novels of Kate Atkinson is here: the inventiveness, the verbal felicity, the sharp observations on human nature and the deeply satisfying emotional wallop. A startling and funny feast for the imagination, these stories conjure a multiverse of subtly connected worlds while illuminating the webs of chance and connection among us all.","brand":"Doubleday Canada","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42823873298512,"sku":"9780385688222B","price":12.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780385688222-l.jpg?v=1785894288","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/normal-rules-don-t-apply-stories-9780385688222b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
