The complexities of a friendship. The unexplored doubts of a
marriage. And the redemptive power of literature...Julie Buxbaum,
the acclaimed author of The Opposite of Love," " delivers a
haunting, gloriously written novel about love, family, and the
secrets we hide from each other--and ourselves.
It happened on a tree-lined street in Notting Hill to a woman who
seemed to have the perfect life. Ellie Lerner's best friend, Lucy,
was murdered in front of her young daughter. And, as best friends
do, Ellie dropped everything--her marriage, her job, her life in
the Boston suburbs--to travel to London and pick up the pieces of
Lucy's life. While Lucy's husband, Greg, copes with his grief by
retreating into himself, eight-year-old Sophie has simply stopped
speaking.
Desperate to help Sophie, Ellie turns to a book that gave her
comfort as a child, "The Secret Garden." As the two spend hours
exploring the novel's winding passageways, its story of hurt,
magic, and healing blooms around them. But so, too, do Lucy's
secrets--some big, some small--secrets Lucy kept hidden, even from
her best friend. Over a summer in London, as Ellie peels back the
layers of her friend's life, she's forced to confront her own as
well: the marriage she left behind, the loss she'd hoped to escape.
And suddenly Ellie's carefully constructed existence is spinning
out of control in a chain of events that will transform her
life--and those around her-- forever. A novel that will resonate in
the heart of anyone who's had a best friend, a love lost, or a past
full of regrets, After You proves once again the unique and
compelling talent of Julie Buxbaum.
