After Before is a novel about blame, forgiveness, and identity. During a cold, British winter, three women reach crisis point. Emily, a 21-year-old survivor of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, lives in a London council flat. She subsists on the cusp of depression and poverty, trapped by memories and misfortune. Vera, a young, Hertfordshire girl seems to have everything she could want, but is again and again flattened by a persistent and ferocious guilt. Lynn, a wealthy older woman faces an untimely disease that renders her caught in a web of bitterness and regret. Each suffering their own demons, their lives have been torn open by betrayal: by other people, by themselves, by life itself. But as their paths begin to interweave, slowly they begin to unravel their beleaguered pasts, and inadvertently change each other’s future.
