Review Detail

Reader reviewed by GBC

Elsewhere is a fantastic spin on the afterlife.  When Liz is hit by a hit and run driver, she "awakes" on a large cruise ship headed toward Elsewhere.  Over the course of the ride, she realizes she is dead.  When she arrives in Elsewhere, Liz meets her grandmother (who died before she was born) and goes to live with her.  Elsewhere is a lot like here, except that people age backwards and ultimately return to be reincarnated.  During her time in Elsewhere, Liz is forced to grow up as she grows younger, falls in love, and ultimately comes to term with her death.

This book explores life after death as well as the real relationships between people.  Why should love be any different in the afterlife?
