Both utterly heart rending and incredibly uplifting, After the End is the most moving book you'll read this year
Moving and thought-provoking
A breath-taking and powerful story . . . Riveting
A heart-rending read and will have you debating what you would do in the same situation. A perfect book club choice
An exquisite novel - tragic, clever, life-affirming and original all at once
I haven't read a book that's moved me so much for years. After the End does something incredible, it made me cry yet uplifted me. A beautifully written, astonishing work.
Captivating . . . tailor-made for book clubs and for fans of Jodi Picoult
An astonishing read that reaches into our very souls, turns us inside out, leaves us weeping, and yet hoping for a brighter future
A moving and thought-provoking novel. Cleverly written, with hope as well as heartbreak
Unforgettable and profoundly moving, this is a novel about the bottomless human capacity for love and endurance, even in the most heartbreaking circumstances
Deeply moving . . . no emotion is left unturned . . . While there's no denying this is a relentlessly sad novel - it's far from an easy read - you will feel uplifted by the end
This stunning book is something of a departure for bestselling thriller writer mackintosh, who questions what it costs to stand up for what you believe in
Cleverly structured to look at both sides of a heart-breaking situation, this thought-provoking book draws upon the author's experiences, and manages to feel both personal and universal
After the End is a gorgeously written and sincerely moving novel. First it broke my heart, but then helped put it back together in unexpected ways. I know it will preoccupy my thoughts for a long time to come
Prepare to have your heart broken
A powerful exploration of grief, love and the way in which all decisions - both large and small - can have life-changing results.
(An) emotional read . . . Poignant
Such a perfectly poised novel, with authentic heart and depth, that examines the worst moments of our lives, and still somehow uncovers hope and the indomitable strength of the human spirit. Everyone should read this beautiful book
One of the most moving stories I have ever read. It's perfect
Mackintosh's depiction of the long-distance loneliness, grit-eyed exhaustion and beleaguered hopes of the parent of a terminally ill child are moving. Yet this is a life-affirming story, too, in its richly drawn depiction of the Iranian consultant Leila's background or its scarred central characters' re-emergence blinking into the world
Clare Mackintosh takes us on a heart-rending, vivid journey through one of the toughest situations a parent could face - she's Britain's answer to Jodi Picoult
Searing, emotional depth . . . an important story
So delicately balanced and never indulgent. So perfect
Beautiful, sumptuous and tender, this story is one of parents and impossible decisions. Completely relevant to today's issues, this delicately personal and heart-wrenching tale is a tribute to human spirit
Brilliant
A complex structure exploring future alternative outcomes invests you hugely in their struggle - leaving you wondering "what would i do?" Moving without being mawkish, this will linger long in the memory
Deeply moving and page-turning . . . tailor-made for book clubs
Amazing, heart-wrenching . . . an absolute must-read
A heart-rending story, superbly executed
A beautifully written novel, compelling and clever, tender and true. I can't stop thinking about it
The bestselling author of I Let You Go shows that in these devastating, complex situations, there is no right answer
A beautifully written and thought-provoking tale . . . A must-read.
Heart-breaking . . . deftly handled . . . [After the End] shows that in devastating, complex situations, there is no right answer.
A heart-wrenching, character-driven story
A heart-wrenching tale - but it is also a story bursting with courage, hope and so much love
This deeply moving tale . . . leaves no emotion unturned
Have just finished Clare Mackintosh's extraordinary, heartrending life-lesson of a book - it is an absolute tour de force. Everyone should read After the End
I promise you will weep during this beautifully sad book
Impressive, thoughtful, authentic and moving
I read After the End in one emotional sitting. It's beautiful, original, moving and thought-provoking
This is the most moving book I have read this year. After the End made me cry but in the best possible way. I felt I was there, right inside the pages, wanting to hug each character. Put this on the top of your list. You won't regret it
A tender, heart-breaking, uplifting, truthful marvel of a novel. Clare Mackintosh has taken her already wonderful writing to a whole new level
