Su questo libro

Recensione:

"It's the depiction of . . . deceptively small moments that is O'Farrell's winning gift. . . . Her absorbing characters gracefully circle one another 'round the room like moths at the light bulb,' grazing their wings against life's raw heat instead of being consumed by it." —The New York Times Book Review

"After You'd Gone is beautifully written contemporary fiction." —The Sunday Times
