The post-birthday world
Book • 2007
In *The Post-Birthday World*, Lionel Shriver crafts a narrative that splits into two parallel universes based on a single decision made by the protagonist, Irina McGovern.
The novel delves into themes of love, regret, and the complexities of human relationships, as Irina navigates her life with either her steady partner or a charismatic snooker player.
This structure allows Shriver to explore the implications of whom we choose to love and the consequences that follow.
