'Incredibly affecting... a devastating debut' The Face
'O'Farrell is blessed with a tender, solicitous intelligence... honest, moving and wise beyond its author's years' Time Out
'O'Farrell's clean, pellucid prose makes this an effortless read... such emotional delicacy really distinguishes this compulsively readable and accomplished first novel' Lesley Glaister, Independent on Sunday
'A poignant tragedy punctuated only with happy moments from a brighter past. A girl in a coma, a love affair tragically aborted, a religious tangle and a disturbed relationship between mother and daughter all add up to a gripping and emotionally engaging novel' Sunday Express
'What makes this book remarkable is a luminous use of language and imagery which turn Alice's world into one of elements and of sensation' Observer
A distraught young woman boards a train at King's Cross to return to her family in Scotland. Six hours later, she catches sight of something so terrible in a mirror at Waverley Station that she gets on the next train back to London. After You'd Gone follows Alice's mental journey through her own past, after a traffic accident has left her in a coma. A love story which is also a story of absence, and of how our choices can reverberate through the generations, it slowly draws us closer to a dark secret at the family's heart.
