I danced a
wee jig when I had the good fortune to get hold of Jojo Moyes’ After
you for the long weekend, such was my excitement!
The sequel
to Me before you (about the relationship between a high flying banker
left a quadriplegic after an accident and the woman who cared for him in the
last few months), After you picks up Louisa Clark’s story eighteen
months afterwards. Stuck in a deadend job, estranged from her family and unable
to move on from what happened, Lou opens the door one evening on someone that
will change her life forever. And before you jump to any conclusions, it’s not
what you might think. No spoiler alerts here, just read it…..
After
you is a worthy
sequel. By turns it is a moving account of one woman’s journey through grief,
juxtaposed with hilarious interactions with Lou’s family and the gently
humorous moments in her grief counselling group. Sounds bizarre, but Moyes
pulls it off superbly.
If you
loved Me before you, you will LOVE After you.
