A God in Ruins is a companion book to Life After Life which was about Ursula Todd. This book is about Ursula's younger brother, Teddy, who was a fighter pilot during WWII. Atkinson shows what a nice and caring man Teddy was and I found myself caring about him throughout. He survives the war but didn't expect to live post-war. The book shows how war is a waste of life and how Teddy will be forever affected by it in the future. It is well-written and researched but I found it to be a rather complex story and not what I was expecting. I think I like Life After Life better as I found that book to be very unique. The twist at the end was a surprise and pretty clever. I look forward to reading more of Atkinson's books and I highly recommend this book to those who like books about WWII.
