The Storytellers

Description

Trapped between life and the afterlife, three women meet and share their stories while discovering the truth about the men in their lives-and about themselves. Suspended in an eerie state of limbo, an entity called the Gatekeeper tells Nikki, Ronnie, and Mrs. Hawthorne they are on the cusp of entering the afterlife-but only if the women can persuade him that in their earthly lives, they knew the meaning of love. Fragments of their memories return, plunging them back into their pasts, and forcing them to face the desires, disappointments, addictions, lies, and obsessions they battled in life. But before time runs out, will they find the answer to the ultimate question: what is love? "Darkly funny and completely compelling, with brilliantly flawed characters you can't help rooting for, even when they're bad." -Frances Quinn, author of The Smallest Man "Utterly mind blowing! If Stuart Turton had written Gone Girl it would look like this. Intelligent, compelling writing that is genre defining. Brilliant!" -Victoria Dowd, author of The Supper Club Murders "Gripping, thought-provoking and clever. I was hooked from the very first page." -Nicola Gill, author of The Neighbours "Beautiful, edgy and the perfect debut. A tale crafted with heart, soul and sass." -Keith A. Pearson, author of The '86 Fix
