Summary

In the quiet of a New Zealand winter's night, a rescue helicopter is sent to airlift a five-year-old boy with severe internal injuries. He's fallen from the upstairs veranda of an isolated farmhouse. At first, Finn's fall looks like a horrible accident; but his frantic mother, Martha McNamara, knows how it really happened. And she isn't telling. Not yet. Maybe not ever.

Critic reviews

"Original, wonderfully written and utterly gripping." (The Sun)

"After the Fall is a gripping tale that would appeal to fans of Jodi Picoult and Joanna Trollope." (Red Online)

A delightful read translated perfectly into a great listen. The story is thought provoking, well written and gripping. It's characters' flaws and strengths are beautifully drawn and bring them to life easily and sympathetically.
The different threads in the story will resonate in many readers' lives and certainly gave me pause for thought. I liked all the characters, cared about what happened to them and missed the book when I had completed it.
The audio version is extremely well read with good voice characterisation and a calm and soothing tone overall. Highly recommended.

Stunning book, very well narrated.

Initially, I was uncertain whether I would enjoy this story but towards the end I found it impossible to stop listening. Norman's description is powerful and entirely plausible. McKenzie narrated the tale with colour and characterisation that allowed listeners to follow along with ease and enjoyment.

If you can deal with the narration and the ridiculous voices for the children, the story is excellent.
