A masterful collection of stories that plumb the depths of everyday
life, from the incomparable Tessa Hadley 'Beautifully done' SUNDAY
TIMES 'You've either got it or you haven't. Hadley's got it'
FINANCIAL TIMES 'A magnificent collection' DAILY TELEGRAPH In each
of the twelve stories in After the Funeral, small events have huge
consequences. Heloise's father died in a car crash when she was a
little girl; at a dinner party in her forties, she meets someone
connected to that long-ago tragedy. Janey's bohemian mother plans
to marry a man close to Janey's own age - everything changes when
an accident interrupts the wedding party. A daughter caring for her
elderly mother during the pandemic becomes obsessed with the woman
next door; in the wake of his best friend's death, a man must
reassess his affair with the friend's wife. Teenager Cecilia wakes
one morning on vacation with her parents in Florence and sees them
for the first time through disenchanted eyes. These stories
illuminate the enduring conflicts between responsibility and
freedom, power and desire, convention and subversion, reality and
dreams.
