À propos de cet audio

 A stunning, heartbreaking debut novel about grief, love, and family, perfect for fans of Jandy Nelson and Celeste Ng.

Leigh Chen Sanders is absolutely certain about one thing: When her mother died by suicide, she turned into a bird.

Leigh, who is half Asian and half white, travels to Taiwan to meet her maternal grandparents for the first time. There, she is determined to find her mother, the bird. In her search, she winds up chasing after ghosts, uncovering family secrets, and forging a new relationship with her grandparents. And as she grieves, she must try to reconcile the fact that on the same day she kissed her best friend and longtime secret crush, Axel, her mother was taking her own life.

Alternating between real and magic, past and present, friendship and romance, hope and despair, The Astonishing Color of After is a stunning and heartbreaking novel about finding oneself through family history, art, grief, and love.

This is a very special book."--John Green, bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars and Turtles All the Way Down Dépression et santé mentale Famille Famille et relations Fantastique Fiction Littérature Magique Situations difficiles Santé mentale Rencontres Chagrin Santé

I thought The Astonishing Color Of After was a beautiful story. It did take me awhile to really get into the book, but after I was about half way though the story started to pick up. I thought I would end up giving this book three stars. But the ending was so impactful that just the ending bumped it up to a five. After I’ve finished this book, it’s been constantly on my mind. I loved how the story turned out, and I loved how Emily X.R Pan wrapped up this novel. I would definitely recommend this book to people. If your looking for a story that will fill your heart with sadness and joy all at the same time, this is the book for you. It’s nothing I’ve personally ever read before. This is an amazing, beautiful, and heart wrenching novel that will tear you to shreds and put you back together again.

The Astonishing Color of After. What an amazing novel!

i'm not a ghost believer, so the ghost-ish parts, that were all throughout the book kind of fell on my nerves 🥴

too much ghost

Was a really good book with a compelling storyline. The journey through grief and acceptance this novel takes you on hits close to home. It is told from the perspective of a teenage girl, causing it to sometimes read like a YA romance/drama novel, I’m not the biggest fan of these parts of the book but that’s just a personal preference. Wonderful book dealing with suicide and generational trauma, really worth the read.
