Afterlife
Afterlife is a compact, nimble, and sharply droll novel. Set in this political moment of tribalism and distrust, it asks: What do we owe those in crisis in our families, including—maybe especially—members of our human family? How do we live in a broken world without losing faith in one another or ourselves? And how do we stay true to those glorious souls we have lost?

Antonia's husband Sam has died, sister Izzy has disappeared, and a very pregnant teen has arrived in the small Vermont town. This is a sweet, relatively short (and small) novel about sisterhood, grief, memory and love. Great chapter titles, and literary references throughout (TS Eliot, Macbeth, Auden, refrigerator magnets, a Yiddish grandmother).
