McCorkle finds that space where the humor and the sadness in these characters' lives come together, that space where she has always worked the best of her magic...You are undoubtly changed when you reach the novel's end., By turns comic, insightful, and heart wrenching . . . Shows how old age can give us a second chance: to see ourselves rightly, be truer to those we love, and inspire those we leave behind., McCorkle's masterful microcosm invokes profound sadness, harsh insight and guffaws, often on the same page., "Who knew death, regret, and lengthy ruminations about days past could add up to a novel this vibrant, hopeful, and compelling? . . . Gorgeously written . . . McCorkle's greatest gift is in illuminating the countless tiny moments that make up our time on Earth." --O: The Oprah Magazine "Clever, bighearted, and wise." --Vanity Fair "The elderly residents of Pine Haven live and yearn and challenge one another with an exuberance that jumps off the page."--The New York Times "Home & Garden" section "Leave it to McCorkle to plumb the ultimate new beginning in this down-home, Southern-style Book of the Dead. Illuminating, reassuring, and enlarging our understanding of the crossing from this world to the next, her novel sings with the mystical, the magical and the fragility of this thing called life." --The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Balances humor and sorrow." --NPR's All Things Considered "A vividly voiced round-robin of interlocking stories set in and around a North Carolina retirement home . . . Great . . . Sharply real." --Entertainment Weekly "Funny and painful, Life After Life explores not dying, but rather the mysteries of living -- the second chances, the human connection, the love. The result is an impressive and poignant interweaving of vibrant characters; overlapping tales create a whole that is greater than the separate parts. McCorkle returns to the novel with a deeper wisdom and moral intensity. With a Southern flair, she invites the reader to muse on what matters most in the days we are given. Was it worth the wait? In a word, yes." --Richmond Times-Dispatch "McCorkle's masterful microcosm invokes profound sadness, harsh insight and guffaws, often on the same page." --Kirkus Reviews "A powerful gift for dialogue has always animated Jill McCorkle's fiction, and here we hear some astonishing voices . . . As readers, we feel honored to witness their passages." --The Boston Globe "A story and characters that readers won't soon forget." --Minneapolis Star Tribune, With Life After Life, Jill McCorkle knocks it out of the park and into the cosmos. Each character holds unique surprises that unveil the intricate magic of this brilliant novel., "Who knew death, regret, and lengthy ruminations about days past could add up to a novel this vibrant, hopeful, and compelling? . . .
