Summary
People die. Love doesn’t.
Rasmus and Jay, Róisín and Nico—two beautiful, ordinary love stories, cut short by death. Jay and Nico don’t even believe in ghosts, yet they seem to be...still here. Still in love with Rasmus and Roísín. And maddeningly powerless.
Both are incapable of leaving the living alone: Jay plays matchmaker, convinced that Rasmus and Róisín can heal each other; Nico, plagued by jealousy, doesn’t agree.
Rasmus and Róisín are just trying to navigate their newly widowed lives.
But all four of them are thinking the same thing: what is love, after death? What is it for? And what are we to do with it?

A beautiful comfort for grieving hearts
A tender story about love and loss and loving again after loss. And all the maddening, funny, heart wrenching, tragic and lovely moments that the people left behind encounter.
And in it’s telling it is brought to life by the narrators singing of Rasmus’s songs and vivid voice.
I devoured it over 2 days. Beautiful beautiful stuff.

Beautiful
I had this on pre order and dropped the other like a stone when it entered my library.
It’s so beautifully written. I never read ghost stories but this isn’t like a ghost story, you actually want to believe it happens.
The narration was superb and I can see that it would have been extremely tricky.
I loved the interview at the end. It felt very intimate and personal.
Can’t wait to read the author’s next book as my dear I wanted to tell you is my favourite book of all time and I recommend it to everyone. I also recommend this book to everyone too!

Rather wonderful
This is one of the best audio reads I have listened to. Terrifically skilled at accents, charecterisation, emotional nuance. Not to mention the beautiful singing. Bringing to life some exquisite writing. Story telling at its best. Thank you.
