At its center is Naomi Ash, a young woman who has come of age on the frigid banks of a western New York lake community called Train Line.

The title and description captivated me, the unknown is intriguing interesting almost intoxicating. This book took me 3 weeks to read, for some people who may be average, but 300 pages should take a few days tops for me. It wasn't because I was busy or distracted. After Life read like Average Joe Workingman's Biography: The Accounting Firm Employment Years. If that sounds like a harsh criticism well, it is what it is intended. The story read on and on how this happened, and this person went to dinner with this person, and someone made a Halloween costume. Nothing ever happens to progress the story from the opening paragraph when Naomi drags the dead body of her lover down the stairs, into the boat and buries him to be forgotten forever.
For the next 290 pages the book stumbles to tell you a story of a self-centered mother who never shows affection to a daughter dying to be loved and a town who filled with hundreds of psychics, mediums, clairvoyants and fortune tellers allows a murder to happen under their nose but never notice the act... but at the same time convincing you that "hey, all this hocus pocus it true." Really? Everyone in the town can communicate with the dead and no one knew poor Peter lied buried and murdered for a decade. Now if you believe in mediums or psychics I am not insulting your beliefs, I believe in aliens, who am I to judge. But don't tell me someone, a whole community is gifted and communicates daily with the dead who walk amongst us and no one was tipped off by these events.

Aside from my displeasure with the actual story the novel just had no hook, the reason it took me 3 weeks to finish the tale and liken it to an Average Joe's Biography was just that, it never moved. Page after page the author describes daily mundane activities and history in the character's lives. Like a 2 hour directors cut of a laundry detergent commercial. It wasn't a who-done-it, the murderer is revealed in the opening moments. It wasn't a haunting. It's about a girl who kills a boy and goes about her normal life for ten years, and this is her first-person view of her life.

I kept waiting for a twist, waiting to find out she died and was a ghost among the mediums. No, nothing, just a story about a girl who killed someone ten years prior and did nothing since but work and read a few palms.

In closing a question you may be wondering. Why would you read 300 pages of a book you disliked so much?

Well, first I was hoping the book would kick in and a story for the ages was waiting to blossom, it didn't.

Second, I paid $4.99 for the Kindle Edition and I owed it to myself to finish this book to warn others of its pitfalls.

Take head, do not read.(less)

Ah well, enough about me: here is the first reader's journal entry I made whilst reading this book:

As of this writing, I am up to page 124 of "After Life," and it is an intriguing read that has raised a bunch of questions, because the first chapter "What I Did" starts off with narrator, Naomi Ash, saying: "First I had to get his body into the boat." Thus, although we know that Naomi has killed Peter, whose body she is trying to dispose of, we have no idea why she did it, and thus far there isn't really much to clue us in on the nature of their relationship and what would lead her to commit murder.

Naomi is the daughter of a clairvoyant, who becomes one herself - and the way she describes the supernatural is along the lines of how Naomi sums up how she felt after early experiences in developing her abilities: "I never doubted the validity of what I heard. Whether it was strictly true or not didn't matter, because truth, I knew, could be interpreted a thousand ways."

I think that might sum up what this book is about, which is the blurred lines between truth and lies, and while I think Naomi believes in the supernatural, it is not clear if she is delusional or not. Regardless, she is a hard nut to crack, because on one hand she confides some of her deepest secrets, yet she doesn’t actually seem to reveal much about herself.

So now: the author has created a nice sense of mystery and intrigue and this is the type of book seems as it will hinge on the ending; and as of now I can't figure out how it's going to end, or why Naomi killed Peter. So fingers crossed that Ellis can pull off a doozy of an ending.

Unfortunately, that was also the last journal entree - I need to be a tad more consistent. Nonethelest, I think what stood about this book is how the author crafted the narrator in such a way that she seems like someone that is left undefined in many respects. And I think the narrator is one of those 'water-reflective' characters in which one's reaction to her says more about oneself than the character.

Overall, the key attractions: a beautifully written character and setting driven novel that is rather haunting, and I will be interested to see if this one has what I think of as 'stickiness' ~ which is kinda the same thing as being memorable, but I like the term 'stickiness' more than 'memorable' for whatevs reason.

After Life: a novel, by Rhian Ellis, b-plus, narrated by Shannon McManus, produced by Brilliance Audio, downloaded from audible.com.

This story is told through the voice of Naomi Ash, the daughter of a medium. Her strange life made her pretty much an outcast in Trainline, New York where she grew up. Trainline, (modeled on a real town, Lillidale, New York) is filled with mediums who, in various ways, make contact with the dead. Naomi herself becomes a medium.

I think the mark of a good book is one that perplexes, challenges and haunts. All three of those are reactions I have to the authors debut novel.

Unlike many mystery books wherein we are introduced to a murder and wonder who did it, After Life begins with a statement by the perpetrator acknowledging her misdeed. The opening line -- "First I had to get his body into the boat" -- sets the tone as throughout the book we learn details of the murder, but it isn't until the end, when the reader learns why it occurred.

Naomi Ash by all accounts should not be a like able character, yet in the authors clear, perceptive writing, one cannot help but grow to feel empathy for Naomi.

Deftly weaving a tale of spiritualism, while tracing the roots of this movement from its beginnings in the US, we are transported to Train Line, NY. Therein, the reader feels as though they are a part of the every day happenings of a small town, filled with eccentric, mystical folk who are not above using a little fakery to assist people in reaching their loved ones who have passed to the other side.

Naomi follows in her mother's footsteps and taps into abilities in the spiritualistic realm. Dabbling with her talents, she is sporadically successful in her endeavors, but as with all things in her life, she lacks a drive, gumption and motivation to take control. She is lazy, rarely bathes and fails to develop social skills. She cares little for her appearance, has no friends and seems incapable of sustaining any depth of feeling.

Peter Morton arrives in her life and takes her by surprise. Finding she is capable of love is a unique revelation. Her joy is short term. The book weaves past with present when we learn that ten years ago, she killed Peter and buried his body in the surrounding woods of Train Life.

When a contractor unearths the body, she prays that Peter is not one of the spirits that can communicate with her.

Slow in pace, this book takes the reader by surprise. The author superbly weaves a story of guilt and redemption, of truth and lies, of black, white and gray.

After Life was a delight to read from beginning to end. The novel opens with the compelling line: “First I had to get his body into the boat.” The narrator is Naomi Ash, a woman in her early 30s who lives in Train Line, a whole town owned by The Church of Spiritualist Studies in Upstate New York.

"My first impression of the town was of clutter. Cars were parked nearly on the front steps, cats jumped from porch roofs and windowsills, hanging plants and wind chimes and mobiles dangled by every door...more

Hand-picked by Pearl, these novels have been republished and given a second chance (helped along with a heavy dose of publicity and buzz by Pearl herself).

I trust Nancy Pearl. She has an infectious passion for books and while I don't always agree with her opinions on certain books and authors (don't get me started on John Irving or Ann Patchett) I trust anyone who dedicates their life to books. Not just writing, but books, and getting people excited about reading.

"After Life" is full of mediums, spiritualists, and New Age tarot-reading psychics. Not usually something I'd go in for, but Ellis's novel is surprisingly down-to-earth and relatable. She presents spiritualism in a solid, respectful, meticulously well-researched way that gives the reader a better understanding of its history and evolution.

Ellis's novel is also a novel of a dysfunctional mother/daughter relationship novel. Except where other novelists paint their characters as grotesquely unhealthy and abusive, Ellis's women are realistic and live in the real world, specifically the world in which mothers and daughters destroy and rebuild each other with everyday slights and gestures. It's subtle, something sadly lacking in most books that exploit the modern domestic relationship trope.

And then there's murder. It's not a whodunit, you know the who from the first page. But it asks the much more interesting and relevant question: why. This question ("why") kept me reading and I was not disappointed.

My only complaint is pacing, something I've become all but obsessed with lately. It drags in parts and moves far too quickly in others. However, this is mainly an issue of editing and I would have liked to see what could have been done with this novel under the hand of an expert editor.(less)

It's a unique murder mystery in that we know from the first page that the protagonist Naomi Ash has killed her boyfriend Peter, and the mystery is discovering how and why she did it. After his bones are unearthed a decade later, Naomi begins to tell us about it. The story alternates between present day events and Naomi's memories of past events leading up to Peter's death.

Naomi is a medium, just like her mother. They moved to a spiritualist colony in Train Line, New York, when she was young. Spiritualism is a religious belief that there is an alternate world where spirits of the dead live and certain people (mediums) can communicate with them. One theme that plays back and forth throughout the book is fake versus real. Naomi herself didn't believe in it as a child as she watched how her mother "fudged" spiritual readings to make it more believable to her clients. Whether her mother was a true medium or not, I don't know, but Naomi seemed like the real deal to me.

"...and we need each other, the dead and the living. Our lives are meaningless without the afterlife, and well, their lives are meaningless without the...antedeath."

Naomi is one of the most lost and lonely heroines I've read. After finishing the book, I'm still not sure how I feel about her. I don't dislike her in spite of what she did. I mostly feel sad for her and for Peter.

The story was well written, and I enjoyed the rich descriptions the author used for the sights, smells, and characters.

"On the lake, I rowed hard, my feet braced somewhat awkwardly on either side of Peter. Mist still hung over the surface, and droplets clung to my eyelashes and hair. The lake had been carved by glaciers; it was long and slender as a crooked finger."

It's hard to say what, exactly, AFTER LIFE was about. It was many things. Peter's death. Naomi's life. Her relationship with her eccentric mother. Spiritualism. What's real and what we hope is real.

I enjoyed the author's engaging writing style. It felt like I was in the story listening to Naomi tell me about her life, and I was hanging on every word. The plot was slow-paced in spots, because she did go into a lot of detail about everyday events, some of them didn't seem to move the story along, but maybe they would have meaning to another reader.

AFTER LIFE was a haunting tale to say the least, one that left me with lots to think about. I'm glad I read it, and I wouldn't hesitate to read more from this author. Recommended!(less)

This book was the first time I had heard the description ‘whydunit”. We know the narrator has murdered someone from the first sentence, but the book is more about how her sad, lonely existence led her to it. Naomi Ash (a solid character name) and her mother are mediums in a small town populated by many types of spiritualists. The unreliableness and unlikeability of the narrator is not frustrating in that “What About Bob” way. I found it thought provoking, and was really interested in the range o...more

It's a story that takes the rest of the book to tell. It's a story of family and growing up, it's a story of fortune-telling and secret-keeping, it's a story of finding a way to deal with who you are and things you've done.

I am a skeptic when it comes to mediums and such so it was interesting to see how they people of Train Line were portrayed. Also the town takes on a life of its own and becomes a character.

After Life is a story about spiritualism with a mysterious death added to the mixture. I liked the main character, Naomi, and the other somewhat unusual people who inhabit a small N.Y.town where spiritualists, mediums, and the like live. A resort town of sorts.

The author develops her main characters well and the story moves along except as in many books, the middle drags a bit. I would recommend this...another suggested book from Reading Lust.
