A distraught young woman boards a train at King's Cross to return to her family in Scotland. Six hours later, she catches sight of something so terrible in a mirror at Waverley Station that she gets on the next train back to London.
AFTER YOU'D GONE follows Alice's mental journey through her own past, after a traffic accident has left her in a coma. A love story that is also a story of absence, and of how our choices can reverberate through the generations, it slowly draws us closer to a dark secret at a family's heart.
Now i know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but i have to admit i did exactly that when my friend thrust this into my hands. But boy was i wrong and she right! I read this in 3 sittings, simply just couldn’t put it down.
With each new chapter and different
perspective (switches between characters throughout) a new level of depth,
history, sordid deeds etc came to through the page and into my mind. Each
character was superbly written with twists and turns at every few pages.
I though i had this sussed at the beginning
but i couldn’t have been more wrong. Flashes between the past and present,
alive and dead characters and an incredibly strong female protagonist (Alice)
at its centre. Come to think of it,there are a stream of strong female
characters throughout…
Honestly. Pick this up.
