Publisher's Summary
A distraught young woman boards a train at King's Cross to return to her family in Scotland. Six hours later, she catches sight of something so terrible in a mirror at Waverley Station that she gets on the next train back to London, where a traffic accident leaves her in a coma. After You'd Gone follows Alice's mental journey into how she came to be this way, as she twists together threads of memory in a plot that grips from the outset.
It is a love story which is also a story of absence - we discover that Alice's lover, John, has been dead for a year by the time the book starts - and of parental legacies: how actions and choices can reverberate in following generations. Slowly, we are drawn closer to a dark secret at the family's heart, as Alice begins to wonder whether she will ever be whole again, or even survive.

An Intriguing Book.
I really enjoyed this book though it did take a while to get me interested. At first I found the narrator very annoying but I eventually got used to her. Then I found it difficult to put down. I didn't like the ending cutting off so abruptly so am hoping for a sequel.

Page turner
This book is impossible to put down. As per all Maggie’s novels, she has your emotions in the palm of her hand.

Not O’Farrell’s best by a long shot
Awful, boring characters. Strange plot twists that came out of nowhere and really added nothing. O’Farrell gave voice to EVERY inner thought the characters experienced which became tedious. I loved Hamnet, The hand that first held mine, and the vanishing act of Esme Lennox, which were vastly superior and more enjoyable.
