After You

Narrator Anna Acton beautifully captures the edginess and yearning that make Louisa Clark, the protagonist of this novel and Moyes's previous runaway bestseller, ME BEFORE YOU, such an affecting character. Acton also so ably embodies the disaffected teenager who enters Louisa's life that you may want to give her a time-out. But keep listening--you'll be amply rewarded. In Moyes's previous book, Louisa took a job caring for an amazing man who was left quadriplegic after an accident. Now, when he chooses to end his life, Louisa must navigate an unwelcome yet surprising world. In a captivating, believable reading highlighted by real-world pacing and characterizations, Acton lifts Moyes's well-crafted novel into edge-of-your-seat listening that will keep listeners awake well past their bedtime.
