Reviews
It was original, beautiful, moving and insanely addictive - I wept and I laughed and I will be recommending it to everyone I know.
I found The After Wife thought-provoking, compelling and strangely real - I loved it. And it kept me reading into the early hours several nights in row!
The healing power of love transcends death - This was such a beautifully written, emotionally compelling book. I loved it.
Absorbing, moving and insightful. A compelling vision of what we all stand to gain (and lose) from the rise of the robots.
A wonderful, moving novel about family, love, and loss - and how, we can often find in the past what we need in the present. I adored this book - it's fresh, beautiful, profound and at times funny, it made me cry, but also made me smile.
An original moving story about what it means to be human... and what it means to truly love. All the feels!
A story of love, loss and the future; it'll bamboozle and confound you in the best of ways
Whatever our future brings, The After Wife shows us that the human heart never needs an upgrade.
I was emotionally wrung out by the end.
Unique, poignant, clever. Such a great idea brought to life (or to humanoid) beautifully.
The After Wife is a beautiful, engaging story that deals with grief, love, and what makes us human. I adored iRachel! A unique tale that stayed with me long after I finished reading. Fans of The Time Traveller's Wife will love this book.
this is a genre-crossing novel about what it means to be human, with a skilful and genuinely touching character arc for its non-human protagonist.
The After Wife is a wonderful, original, and moving story - don't miss it!
