An uplifting novel about death, work and mental health.
Amy is an ordinary almost-thirty-year-old Londoner. She is single, unemployed, depressed. Until her untimely death, when she is brought back to life and joins a team of elite agents helping the living cope with everyday crises. Across various missions, Amy will convince a woman suffering from agoraphobia to leave her home, help an overwhelmed father communicate with his teenage daughter, transform a café on the verge of bankruptcy… And all that before the end of her probation! This new role gives Amy everything she ever wanted. Finally, she can rely on supportive colleagues. She moves into a luxurious flat overlooking the Thames. She even finds love in this afterlife. Unfortunately, succeeding as an agent isn’t as easy as she expected – or maybe she isn’t good enough? One thing is for sure: if she loses this job, she loses it all.
Set in London nowadays, this novel is a modern take on the guardian angel trope, but without any religious or spiritual elements. No wings or superpowers in sight. Instead, we dive into a fantastical corporate world with its team meetings, task management system, and performance reviews. After all, even the undead need human resources.
