The End of the Day by Claire North

A novel about life and death and a quest for moral purpose, by the acclaimed author of word-of-mouth bestseller The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August.

"Wholly original and hauntingly beautiful." -- Kirkus

"Funny, ambitious, immensely humane and full of philosophical panache." -- Sunday Times

Sooner or later, Death visits everyone. Before that, they meet Charlie: the Harbinger.

Sometimes he comes as a courtesy, sometimes as a warning. Either way, this will be the most important meeting of your life.

But who will come for Charlie?

"A fascinating exploration of what makes us human -- and a riveting journey through life, and death." -- The Bookbag

"Reaffirms the passion and ambition that have made North such a consistently intriguing writer." -- Locus
