Anna Acton's of After You has an unguarded quality that suits a story about someone trying to reassemble themselves after devastating loss — her voice doesn't push the emotion, it just stays present with it across eleven hours of Louisa learning that recovery is less linear than she hoped. The rest of the list concentrates on contemporary emotional fiction with similar runtimes, including another Jojo Moyes title for readers who want to stay in that register of hard feeling and tentative hope.
