After the End by Clare Mackintosh
5.0

This is very different from her other books - it is not a thriller, however like her other books it is a very good read.

'After the end' describes the heartbreak of a child's terminal illness. The book does not hide from the emotional turmoil when parents are asked the most difficult question - should their child live or die?

The 'sliding doors' approach to the story demonstrates that there are no easy answers and I appreciated that there was no sermonising, or obvious 'right solution'. It is a thoughtful, considered book, which I appreciated even more having read the final Author's Note.
