The Library of Unfinished Business

Quirky, clever, and poignant. 'The Library of Unfinished Business' is about the magic of storytelling, the importance of living bravely, and the power of love to triumph, even over death.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Maurice, a small-town librarian, dies one Monday morning in a fiery car crash and finds himself in a very unexpected afterlife, in which naked people host cocktail parties and an angelic mafia calls the shots.

Meanwhile, Maurice's daughter struggles to come to terms with the death of a father she barely knew and starts writing letters to him, trying to make sense of her family's complicated history. As Andy comes closer to discovering a long-hidden secret, Maurice and Kit uncover a terrifying heavenly plot, and for the first time ever, Maurice must decide: will he stand and fight for something...or risk losing everything?

A wonderfully original read, this debut novel is a cross between Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones and anything by Jasper Fforde.
