Life-affirming, tender and wise. After Beth is a vivid, often heart-wrenching exploration of grief and how we learn to carry on after the worst has happened. Get your tissues at the ready - this book is wonderful -- Josie Lloyd, author of the 'The Cancer Ladies' Running Club' A story of devastating loss, told so keenly and perfectly. But it is also a book filled with hope and humanity, showing people in all their wonderful complexity. It will stay with me for a very long time -- Araminta Hall, author of 'Perfect Strangers' Heartrending in its depiction of a mother grappling her way through her worst nightmare, yet the overriding feeling is one of hope in the transformative powers of love and loss. A wonderful novel -- Sasha Bates, author of 'A Grief Companion' A compelling, compassionate, completely relatable read -- Sue Teddern, author of 'Annie Stanley, All At Sea' Explores love, loss, and how to live with both tenderly and with great insight -- Bethan Roberts, author of 'My Policeman' Beautiful, uplifting and wise. I surfaced from the last page, feeling as comforted as I was moved -- Alison Macleod, on 'Ivy & Abe' A beautiful story that explores what it is to have a soul mate, and love in all its many guises. It made me cry a lot - in a good way! - but it also made me think, as all the best books do' -- Veronica Henry, on 'Ivy & Abe'
