Reviews
A story of love, loss and the future; it'll bamboozle and confound you in the best of ways
The After Wife is a wonderful, original, and moving story - don't miss it!
The healing power of love transcends death - This was such a beautifully written, emotionally compelling book. I loved it.
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.
Unique, poignant, clever. Such a great idea brought to life (or to humanoid) beautifully.
Absorbing, moving and insightful. A compelling vision of what we all stand to gain (and lose) from the rise of the robots.
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.
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!
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.
It was original, beautiful, moving and insanely addictive - I wept and I laughed and I will be recommending it to everyone I know.
I was emotionally wrung out by the end.
An original moving story about what it means to be human... and what it means to truly love. All the feels!
