Maggie O'Farrell

I have just finished reading After you'd gone by Maggie O'Farrell. I tried it because I have recently read The distance between us also by her and enjoyed it. We have the second title in the library but I borrowed the first one from East Ayrshire Libraries. They are both absorbing reads dealing with male/female relationships and are similar in style. They both feature short chapters and jump about in time and in place, so the reader has to concentrate and focus on the details, which is partly why they are so absorbing. Both heroines are young women who have been hurt in their lives, but things happen for them completely differently. I found I was very emotionally involved with the fate of both the heroines. I don't want to mention any more about the storylines as I think it would spoil the pleasure of reading them both. Highly recommended.
