The unexplored doubts of a marriage. And the redemptive power of literature... Julie Buxbaum, the acclaimed author of The Opposite of Love, delivers a haunting, gloriously written novel about love, family, and the secrets we hide from each other--and ourselves.

It happened on a tree-lined street in Notting Hill to a woman who seemed to have the perfect life. Ellie Lerner&amp;#8217;s best friend, Lucy, was murdered in front of her young daughter. And, as best friends do, Ellie dropped everything--her marriage, her job, her life in the Boston suburbs--to travel to London and pick up the pieces of Lucy&amp;#8217;s life. While Lucy&amp;#8217;s husband, Greg, copes with his grief by retreating into himself, eight-year-old Sophie has simply stopped speaking.

Desperate to help Sophie, Ellie turns to a book that gave her comfort as a child, The Secret Garden. As the two spend hours exploring the novel&amp;#8217;s winding passageways, its story of hurt, magic, and healing blooms around them. But so, too, do Lucy&amp;#8217;s secrets--some big, some small--secrets Lucy kept hidden, even from her best friend. Over a summer in London, as Ellie peels back the layers of her friend&amp;#8217;s life, she&amp;#8217;s forced to confront her own as well: the marriage she left behind, the loss she&amp;#8217;d hoped to escape. And suddenly Ellie&amp;#8217;s carefully constructed existence is spinning out of control in a chain of events that will transform her life--and those around her--forever. A novel that will resonate in the heart of anyone who&amp;#8217;s had a best friend, a love lost, or a past full of regrets, After You proves once again the unique and compelling talent of Julie Buxbaum."

ISBN-13: 978-0385341257" ShortDesc250="" ShortDesc450="" MedDesc="Like her debut, The Opposite of Love, Buxbaum&apos;s second novel concerns a woman struggling with devastating loss. When American ex-pat Lucy Stafford is killed by a mugger, her lifelong best friend Ellie Lerner drops everything to fly to London. Ellie stays on after Lucy&apos;s funeral to care for her friend&apos;s eight-year-old daughter, Sophie, who witnessed her mom&apos;s violent death and has since retreated into silence. Ellie also worries about Lucy&apos;s husband, Greg, who confesses that he can barely even look at his daughter; her own divorced parents&apos; on-again, off-again relationship; and her long-suffering husband, waiting for her in the Boston suburbs. Ellie finds London as much a refuge as a place of mourning; she&apos;s been unable to move past the birth of a stillborn child and feels the need to borrow Sophie. As she uncovers more of Lucy&apos;s life, Ellie finds her own spinning out of control, and soon she&apos;s forced to reassess even her deeply held certainties. Buxbaum skillfully handles this tale of grief and growing, resonant with realistic emotional stakes and hard-won wisdom."
