Reviews
Absorbing, moving and insightful. A compelling vision of what we all stand to gain (and lose) from the rise of the robots.
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.
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.
A story of love, loss and the future; it'll bamboozle and confound you in the best of ways
It was original, beautiful, moving and insanely addictive - I wept and I laughed and I will be recommending it to everyone I know.
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.
