Human Croquet is the second novel of Kate Atkinson. The book covers the experiences of Isobel Fairfax, including her occasional bouts of time-travelling, while setting out the legacy of a 300-year-old family curse. Reception In a review of Atkinson's later novel Life After Life (2013), Sam Sacks of The Wall Street Journal stated that Human Croquet was "indifferently received".
