From New York Times bestselling author Clare Mackintosh comes a deeply moving and page-turning novel about an impossible choice—and the two paths fate could take.

“A beautifully written novel, compelling and clever, tender and true. I can’t stop thinking about it.”—Liane Moriarty

“Tailor-made for book clubs and for fans of Jodi Picoult.”—Publishers Weekly

Max and Pip are the strongest couple you know. They're best friends, lovers—unshakable. But then their son gets sick and the doctors put the question of his survival into their hands. For the first time, Max and Pip can't agree. They each want a different future for their son.

What if they could have both?

A gripping and propulsive exploration of love, marriage, parenthood, and the road not taken, After the End brings one unforgettable family from unimaginable loss to a surprising, satisfying, and redemptive ending and the life they are fated to find. With the emotional power of Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper, Mackintosh helps us to see that sometimes the end is just another beginning. Genre Fiction Horror Literary Fiction Women's Fiction

As hard as it was to get through this book without tears it was completely worth every second. I'm very sorry that this book was very close to home for Clare Mackintosh but it's the reason it was completely well written and loved.

This book is magnificent for many reasons. The author was clearly writing from her heart because truth rang throughout the story. The characters’ lives, perspectives, and feelings were masterfully interwoven and separated. This story is a masterpiece! The narrators were all excellent and their voices served to bring the characters to life.

Absolutely recommend

Wow, what a story! I loved the points of view, the portrayal is some things that just don’t matter and Mackintosh’s ability to make everyone feel what her characters feel. I am in love with This remarkable family. I cannot wait for her next book

Not your typical Mackintosh but just as good!
