After The Fire
“Charlotte Rixon has done it again. I loved every page of it. I so admire how she gets beneath a character’s skin and brings them to life on the page. Don’t miss this one; it’s really special.”
This is the story of girl meets boy.
And then everything goes wrong . . .
Ever since they first met at university, Beth and Nick have circled in and out of one another's lives: supporting each other through grief, marriage, divorce, career crises and family dramas.
Fourteen years ago, when they were on the cusp of adulthood, they both survived a devastating fire that sent their lives in different directions. And they've been running ever since: from the pain, from the memories, and most devastatingly of all, from the guilt.
But no matter how hard they try, there's something else they can't run from. The inescapable, terrifying truth: they're in love with each other.
But how can they move forward, when neither of them can stop looking back?
“I think Charlotte is an excellent writer. She is great at portraying the complexity of love, showing the complications and nuances when ‘boy meets girl’ is only the beginning. The book is hopeful and warm. It’s also compelling, authentic and heartfelt”
