The heroine of It Lasts Forever and Then It’s Over is voraciously alive in the afterlife — observant, restless, and aching with longing. Though she’s forgotten her name and much of her former life, she remembers the place where she was known, where she loved and was loved, and it pulls at her constantly.
Traveling west across landscapes of time and space, and carrying a dead but laconically opinionated crow in her chest, this undead narrator loses and remakes parts of herself in a series of terrifying, hilarious, and unexpectedly tender encounters. Strange, sharp, and often funny, Anne de Marcken’s novel explores mortality and what it changes — and what it doesn’t, especially when it comes to love.
