About this listen

In the quiet of a New Zealand winter's night, a rescue helicopter is sent to airlift a five-year-old boy with severe internal injuries. He's fallen from the upstairs veranda of an isolated farmhouse. At first, Finn's fall looks like a horrible accident; but his frantic mother, Martha McNamara, knows how it really happened. And she isn't telling. Not yet. Maybe not ever.

Critic Reviews

"Original, wonderfully written and utterly gripping." (The Sun)

"After the Fall is a gripping tale that would appeal to fans of Jodi Picoult and Joanna Trollope." (Red Online)

So much packed into this story. It was a slice of reality - I knew an English family who emigrated and it was nice to hear similar lovable craziness from this mother's perspective in dealing with life challenges. Strong characters with enough detail in scenes to become invested. issues dealt with with sensivity and drama.
