Summary
Clare Mackintosh: After the ending
Although readers are used to expect from her top thrillers with unimaginable twists and gained enormous worldwide popularity, Clare Mckintosh appears with a completely new genre. At the same time a family drama, but also a thriller, After the End is the story of Max and Pip, a seemingly perfect couple who, because of love, had no problem changing not only the country but also the continent. They are best friends, lovers and nothing could shake them in that, especially when they get their son Dylan. But when he falls ill, and the doctors put the matter of his survival in the hands of his parents, Max and Pip cannot agree for the first time. They want a different future for their son. When the parents cannot come to an agreement, the court must be involved. Pip and Max think that, perhaps, they can have both, but not the court. And after the court decision, whatever it may be, nothing will be the same. The novel After the End is an interesting exploration of love, marriage, parenthood and a decision that was never made. It is the story of an unforgettable family, which we read from an unimaginable loss to a surprising, satisfying and redemptive ending and the life that was destined for them. With her story, Clare Mackintosh helps us see that sometimes the end, no matter how terrible it is, usually just means another beginning.
