Description:
Under the Whispering Door is a New York Times bestselling contemporary fantasy from TJ Klune — hilarious, haunting, and deeply kind. Wallace Price is, by any measure, a thoroughly unpleasant man: a ruthless, self-absorbed lawyer with no friends and no life beyond the office. Then he dies. Collected from his own sparsely attended funeral by an overeager reaper, Wallace is delivered to Charon's Crossing — a cosy, tucked-away tea shop run by Hugo, a gentle and enigmatic ferryman whose job is to help souls make their final crossing. Given just one week before the door must be opened, Wallace begins — for the first time — to actually live. Tender, funny, and unexpectedly moving, this is a story about grief, second chances, and what we owe ourselves and others. Described as "A Man Called Ove meets The Good Place." Recommended for adult readers.
