Reviews for Life After You:

“[LIFE AFTER YOU] is raw, riveting and beautifully written…much recommended.” – BBC’s Andrew Marr.

“The story brims with charm, courage and wit…at times hysterical; heartbreaking at others, this is a wonderful book that has you cheering on its very likeable, funny and talented heroine as she moves from despair to a kind of hope.” (Deidre O’Brien, Sunday Mirror Book Club Choice)

“Lucie’s memoir, which started life as a very personal blog, is a raw howl of disbelief at the speed with which a baby-making quickie could turn to life-shattering tragedy. Life After You is, despite everything, a story of survival and, cautiously, recovery… A wrenchingly funny read.” (Jane Shilling, Daily Mail)

Based on my award-winning blog Wife After Death, Life After You charts the tumultuous two years following the sudden death of my husband, aged 37. You can order it here or buy at all good bookshops, with extra content available at WHSmith.

In 2014, I completed a PhD in Creative Writing. My subject was the American sculptress, art collector, and benefactress MARY CALLERY. The novel based on Mary’s life is entitled The Sculptress; the accompanying critical thesis examines notions of loss in the writing of real lives.
