Maud Applegarth came to Thistledown House to sell it. She stayed because somebody had to remember the cocoa.
Freshly widowed and newly the owner of a crumbling Victorian boarding house she?s never seen, Maud expects paperwork, damp, and a quick sale. What she finds is seven tenants who didn?t quite finish their stories: a huntsman who can?t sleep, a stepsister done playing the villain, a wolf who?d rather grow prize marrows than terrorise anyone, a gingerbread man slowly running out of time, and a goose who pays the rent in solid gold eggs.
Then a damp, meticulous inspector from the Office of Narrative Continuity turns up with thirty days and a clipboard, and the news that every resident must prove they?ve built a life beyond the page - or be sent back to live their worst moment on a loop, forever, for the sake of a story that was never really about them.
Maud has spent her whole life being sensible on other people?s behalf. Now she has one month to fight for a houseful of people who were never supposed to get a second act - and to work out what, exactly, she?s been putting off finishing in her own.
The Afterwards House is a cozy, wry, deeply felt fantasy about what comes after happily ever after, for readers of Legends & Lattes and The House in the Cerulean Sea.
