ABOUT THIS BOOK A surprising and emotional story starring an unforgettable heroine, for fans of Together, The Lovely Bones and The Time Traveller's Wife When Rachel and Aidan fell in love, they thought it was forever. She was a brilliant, high-flying scientist. He was her loving and supportive husband. Now she's gone, and Aidan must carry on and raise their daughter alone. But Rachel has left behind her life's work, a gift of love to see them through the dark days after her death. A gift called iRachel. MY REVIEW THE AFTER WIFE by Cass Hunter is a powerful and impressive story that really took me by surprise and made me quite emotional. Rachel and Aidan have a marriage based on a deep and everlasting love. While Rachel is a high-powered, extremely intelligent scientist, Aidan is content to work in a more relaxed setting while taking care of their fifteen-year-old daughter, Chloe. But when Rachel dies very suddenly, Aidan and Chloe are lost and miss her more than words can say while feeling every possible emotion under the sun as they grieve. But Rachel was nothing if not organised and has left them something to ease their way over the next few months, in the shape of iRachel, a special robot that looks, talks, and interacts like Rachel with Rachel's memories programmed into its core. But iRachel is more than just a robot and as she develops alongside this family, everything becomes heightened for everyone involved, and then there are those who would take iRachel away if they knew she existed ... THE AFTER WIFE by Cass Hunter portrays the grief and shock surrounding sudden loss excellently throughout and I really felt for Chloe in particular who missed her mum so much while also feeling angry and upset that their relationship wasn't as easy and comfortable as she would have wished for. While Aidan and Chloe struggle initially with iRachel, it isn't long before they find some peace from it, and then as the story continues iRachel became a person and character in her own right to me, and my heart broke for her as she became aware of her own limitations and restrictions. THE AFTER WIFE by Cass Hunter is a unique and enthralling story that makes you question life and whether we are living it to the fullest with those that we love, and while technology is obviously amazing in so many ways it makes you question, is there a point where we, as a society, can go too far? This novel is a gripping read and I highly recommend it to fiction fans everywhere. AUTHOR BIO Cass Hunter was born in South Africa and moved to the UK in 2000.
