Fantasy & SciFi
Witty, haunting, and kind, Under the Whispering Door is a gift for troubled times. TJ Klune brings us a warm hug of a story about a man who spent his life at the office - and his afterlife building a home.
From the author of joyous New York Times bestseller The House in the Cerulean Sea.
Welcome to Charon’s Crossing. The tea is hot, the scones are fresh and the dead are just passing through.
When a reaper comes to collect Wallace from his own sparsely-attended funeral, Wallace is outraged. But he begins to suspect she’s right, and he is in fact dead. Then when Hugo, owner of a most peculiar tea shop, promises to help him cross over, Wallace reluctantly accepts the truth.
Yet even in death, he refuses to abandon his life – even though Wallace spent all of it working, correcting colleagues and hectoring employees. He’d had no time for frivolities like fun and friends. But as Wallace drinks tea with Hugo and talks to his customers, he wonders if he was missing something.
The feeling grows as he shares jokes with the resident ghost, manifests embarrassing footwear and notices the stars. So when he’s given one week to pass through the door to the other side, Wallace sets about living a lifetime in just seven days.
Fans of A Man Called Ove and The Good Place will fall for this queer love story by TJ Klune.

Älskade ”The house in the cerulian sea”, men denna? Nä. Intressant tema, men den lyfter liksom aldrig. Seg.

Lyckas aldrig riktigt trivas med den här boken, även om det finns några intressanta koncept. Wallace är osympatisk från början och lyckas inte riktigt vinna min sympati. Hugo känns platt (eller så är det berättaren som gör honom så ointressant) ... The House in the Cerulean Sea är ljusår bättre!

This book is sad, has a dark feeling thru it. But also funny and heartwarming. It includes talks about death, suffering and anxiety, but also love, happiness and realization. Simply about life.

Inte lika bra som The house in the Gerulean sea men nära inpå. Så otroligt vacker

5 hours in with 10 left to go I gave up..Found the book extremely boring and full och clichés and empty platitudes.

I cannot help to compare this book to The House in the Cerulean See, and unfortunately it’s a bit of a disappointment. At times a little bit morbid, and I think I get overwhelmed by the number of characters and their individual storylines in this book. It’s a bit “crowded”. But the ending is worth waiting for and give you hope and insight.

Något långtråkig och lite förutsägbar. De komiska inslagen kändes lite off men det kan ha berott på uppläsaren, han är en smula platt och gör sig bättre i dem många deppiga stunderna.

Inte en bok för mig men jag kan förstå varför andra tycker om den.

Skön att lyssna på. En berättelse utan extrema inslag avkopplande.
