Description
A stunning work of art that reminds readers Julia Alvarez is, and always has been, in a class of her own. Afterlife is a compact, nimble, and sharply droll novel by the internationally bestselling author. The story centers around Antonia Vega, an immigrant writer who finds herself at a crossroads after the sudden loss of her husband and the disappearance of her sister. As she navigates this difficult time, she must confront the challenges of living in a broken world without losing faith in one another or oneself. With lines from her favorite authors playing in her head like a soundtrack, Antonia seeks direction in the literature that has always brought her comfort. This thought-provoking novel asks important questions about our responsibilities to those in crisis and how we can stay true to ourselves and others when faced with uncertainty.
