Taking to Twitter, one person wrote: "The adaptation of #Lifeafterlife is extraordinary TV. I do hope they adapt A God In Ruins. Teddy's story is just as extraordinary - they are books of a lifetime. Books I can't quite bring myself to reread as they savaged my heart."
Will Teddy have his own series?
Another person added: "Watched the last two #LifeAfterLife What a super and engrossing adaptation of a very complex novel, which deftly pulled off all Kate Atkinson's sucker punches. A God In Ruins next!" A third person tweeted: "I loved Life after Life, but thought A God in Ruins was even better. It’s sad though! I don’t cry easily but was in bits at the end."
