Despite the good reviews I was hesitant to read After Beth as I was sure I'd find it a difficult and upsetting read..It was an emotionally challenging read but also one of the most powerful and moving novels I've read. The author portrays a mother's grief so powerfully and with such deep empathy and insight that I felt I there walking alongside Cate and her pain. Enfield sensitively explores how one family grieves and how the loss is never forgotten, the pain never goes away but life grows around the grief and loss. It is a book filled with hope and I found it to be an ultimately uplifting read . Highly recommended and one of my reads of the year.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this digital ARC.
