Publisher Description

The stunning, groundbreaking debut novel of wrenching love and grief from the New York Times bestselling author of The Marriage Portrait and National Book Circle Award Winner Hamnet

Alice Raikes takes a train from London to Scotland to visit her family, but when she gets there she witnesses something so shocking that she insists on returning to London immediately. A few hours later, Alice is lying in a coma after an accident that may or may not have been a suicide attempt. Alice's family gathers at her bedside and as they wait, argue, and remember, long-buried tensions emerge. The more they talk, the more they seem to conceal. Alice, meanwhile, slides between varying levels of consciousness, recalling her past and a love affair that recently ended. A riveting story that skips through time and interweaves multiple points of view, After You'd Gone is a novel of stunning psychological depth, marking the debut of a major literary talent.

After you’d gone

This was a difficult book to read on a myriad of different levels. I had read a few other books by this author, and I really appreciated them, but this I felt was left undone and grossly inadequate written, edited and executed. If anyone has had any sort of loss in their life, skip this book. It was weak, indefensible for those who have experienced loss. It felt overly rushed, inauthentic and truly sub par. It was really quite terrible. A massive waste of my time and money.
