![]() ![]() ![]() The character we see right at the beginning of the book seems to wash away too easily. At the same time, Wallace didn’t do enough in my eyes to justify his redemption. It’s something we all need to be reminded of sometimes. I agree with the message that it’s never too late to turn your life (or death, I guess) around and work towards becoming a better person. Wallace starts as a horrible businessman and slowly comes to find love in friendship and kindness. One of the major themes in this book is that everyone is deserving of redemption. ![]() ![]() It turns what could be an incredibly depressing story into one that’s quirky and sweet. The dark elements are balanced with a constant undercurrent of hopefulness. Even though Under The Whispering Door tackles heavy, dark topics, there is a lightheartedness to it that lends itself to a comfort read. There’s something so loveable about TJ Klune’s type of humour, and this book is filled to the brim with it. But Wallace isn’t ready to leave, especially as he begins to learn more about what he missed in his cruel, short life. There Wallace meets Hugo, the Ferryman whose job it is to help souls cross over. A reaper collects him from his funeral, but instead of taking him to the afterlife, they go to a quirky tea shop in a small village. Wallace Price is a terrible man who cares more about money and his business’s efficiency than people. ![]()
