Afterwards - Rosamund Lupton

Written by Rosamund Lupton
Unabridged
Before……….she was a mother attending the school sports day. Then black smoke begins to stain the blue summer sky. Grace sees the smoke and begins to run. She knows the school is on fire and her teenage daughter, Jenny, is inside. She runs into the burning building to rescue her.
Afterwards …………..” I couldn’t move, not even a little finger or a flicker of an eye. I couldn’t open my mouth to scream.
I struggled, as hard as I could, to move the huge heavy hulk that my body had become but I was trapped under the hull of a vast ship wrecked on the ocean floor and moving was impossible.
My eyelids were welded shut. My eardrums broken. My vocal cords snapped off.”
Helped by its Richard & Judy shortlisting, Lupton’s Sister was one of the fastest-selling debut novels ever – 200,000 copies in 10 weeks. The follow- up tracks the aftermath of a fire at a south London private school in which Jenny, a 17-year-old teaching assistant, and her mother Grace were hideously injured. In a Lovely Bones-style conceit, the pair detach from their bodies and float powerlessly over the doctors looking after them, the families worrying about them and, critically, the police, who are treating the incident as arson. Lupton has set herself a huge formal challenge and it takes a while for timeframes and perspectives to become clear. (It doesn’t help that Grace’s narration is for much of the time distractingly second-person: “You’re wearing X”, “You walk over to Y”.) Once they have, though, Lupton works her theme of the corrosive effects of ambition with insight and gusto.
