Life After You by Lucie Brownlee
Our daughter, B, appeared in the doorway, woken up by the screaming I must have been screaming but I dont remember and she was crying and peering in. As Lucie tried to make sense of her new life the one she never thought she would be living she turned to writing to express her grief.
Raw, riveting and beautifully written … This is a brave, hugely emotional and above all wise book about something that most of us, in different ways, will have to go through at some pointMuch recommended. * Andrew Marr *
The story brims with charm, courage and wit…at times hysterical; heartbreaking at others, this is a wonderful book that has you cheering on its very likeable, funny and talented heroine as she moves from despair to a kind of hope * Sunday Mirror *
Lucie’s memoir, which started life as a very personal blog, is a raw howl of disbelief at the speed with which a baby-making quickie could turn to life-shattering tragedy. Me After You is, despite everything, a story of survival and, cautiously, recovery. A wrenchingly funny read * Daily Mail *
...I loved it. The raw honesty that came through really touched me * leading National Bereavement charity *
A triumph * Judy Finnigan *
