Book Chat with Bobby: After You'd Gone by Maggie O'Farrell

Welcome back to Book Chat! Believe it or not, this my first ever Maggie O’Farrell. (Bobby says that I must set aside my reservations about hist-fic and give Hamnet a go. I think I will.) After You’d Gone is O’Farrell’s debut, written when she was in her twenties—it recently landed on my desk as it’s just been re-issued to celebrate its 25th birthday. It’s about a young woman, grieving the loss of her husband; 6 months after she dies, she sees something terrible — leading her to step out in front of a car. What did she see that day?
