After
by
Francis Chalifour
Tundra Books
In the year that follows his father's suicide, fifteen year old Francis, his younger
brother Luc and their mom struggle to survive both financially and emotionally. This
compelling and beautifully written novel explores the guilt, anger, loneliness and
eventual healing that the family, and in particular the narrator Francis, experiences.
Heartbreaking yet hopeful, After is an unbelievably moving portrait of loss, love and
forgiveness.
