Author: Charity Norman
Number of pages: 357
One of the most poignant books that I have read in the last years is Charity Norman's After the Fall. The novel starts when a five-year-old boy falls from the upstairs veranda of an isolated farmhouse in New Zealand and is rushed to hospital. Lonely and frantic, Martha, the little boy's mother, wait for the doctor to talk to her, she remembers the last months and the odyssey her whole family has gone through. Their decision to move from England to New Zealand seemed a right one back then, but that meant the beginning of their problems. Do you want to find out why?
