Review
'In AFTERWARDS, we see a master's touch on every page. Uncompromising emotional impact, a poet s sonorous style and a gripping story all come together to make this a transcendent literary experience. I guarantee this novel will touch everyone' -- Jeffery Deaver
'Extraordinary...heart-stopping...[an] ingenious thriller' -- Mail on Sunday
'I became insanely gripped ... The word compelling is used lightly of mystery and crime novels this one will define it for you' -- Daily Mail
'In a LOVELY BONES-style conceit ... Lupton works her theme of the corrosive effects of ambition with insight and gusto' -- Guardian
'The smartly crafted characters create an addictive whodunit ... [it] flits between a fast-paced criminal investigation and the beautifully written musings of Grace as she hears that she and Jenny will probably never wake up making this an unmissable read' -- Heat, 5 stars
'Loved THE TIME TRAVELLER'S WIFE? Well this is even better' -- Company
'Rosamund Lupton s first novel SISTER was the fastest-selling debut by a British author, which could arguably have been a hard act for her to follow. In AFTERWARDS we have an equally stunning second novel, beautifully crafted and utterly engaging, a highly original "whodunnit" that will keep you guessing until the end' -- We Love This Book - magazine from The Bookseller
'Compulsive reading right from the start ... Pacy and compelling' She - Book of the Month
'As with Lupton's debut SISTER, AFTERWARDS has bestseller written all over it. She has found a way of combining searing emotion with page-turning plotting -- Daily Mirror
'Her first novel, SISTER, was a stonking success, but AFTERWARDS might well surpass it' -- --Good Housekeeping

What would be a great thriller has an added twist with the narrator of this story who has tried to save her daughter in a fire. We know from the first page (so its not a spoiler) that she is talking to her husband while her body lies in a coma. Grace can follow the investigation into the arson attack although no-one can hear her and the development of the story is detailed and well thought out.
I am not a fan of ghost stories but this was not one and was an excellent twist on an excellent story. What is a thrilling thriller has emotion added due to this format. And I wept at the end!
Or I would have done if I had not been dishing up tea with the book in my hand - couldn't put it down!
Definitely a book of the year for me.

I absolutely loved Sister and couldn't wait to read this. I was not at all disappointed. I read it in under two days and would have read it in one day if only I didn't have to do other stuff!!!! The characters were so well developed and the story great. I did guess the villain but I doubted it quite a few times. I was slightly disappointed by the ending of Sister (as though Rosamund Lupton had run out of steam by the end) and hoped this would be better and it was. I loved the mother-daughter relationship and cried many times.
I can't recommend this book enough. Loved it. My book of the year.

This book has become one of the most moving and beautiful books I have ever read. Despite the inevitability of the ending the twists and turns made this an exciting read. The journey Lupton takes us on is heartbreaking and so real. I sobbed at the end and have thought about it for days afterwards. This book will stay with you for a long time after you have finished it.

Utter rubbish!
I feel as though I must be on a completely different wavelength to the 131 people who loved this book, because I thought that it was utter nonsense. Read more

A bit long-winded
This is a bit of a mish-mash of a novel really. It is written in the voice of the main character, Grace, who is in spirit form while her body lies in a coma. Read more
