What happens to us after we die? Chris Nielsen had no idea, until an unexpected accident cut his life short, separating him from his beloved wife, Annie.

Now Chris must discover the true nature of life after death. But even heaven is not complete without Annie, and the divided soul mates will do anything to reach each other across the boundaries between life and death. When tragedy threatens to divide them forever, Chris risks his very soul to save Annie from an eternity of despair.

Based on a wealth of research into the subject of life after death, this powerful story of the boundaries of existence and the love that transcends them was the basis for the Oscar-winning film starring Robin Williams.

Critic reviews

“What Dreams May Come is a living, breathing masterpiece..Narrator Robertson Dean and the production team bring the story to life. Dean’s perfect voice reveals the fear and wonder of a man as he discovers what lies after death…The stillness behind Dean’s voice—without a single, stray sound—adds to the solemnity and beauty of the work. Never has silence sounded so good. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

“Whether, after reading this novel, one believes in life after death is of course a matter of opinion. At least you’ll entertain the possibility that, even though we may not live forever, true love can be eternal.”

‘What dreams may come’ is a poignant, profound and ambitious exploration into the afterlife-that is in essence a portrait of true marital love and what it really means to have a soulmate. Akin to all his novels Matheson’s prose is characteristically nuanced- and effortlessly effective, drawing the reader in to his rendition of purgatory, heaven and of course, hell. Furthermore this is brought to life with fantastic narration, and I am left feeling both enlightened and humbled by this novel- highly
recommend.

Enlightenment

An interesting story about life after death. A little too much about this experience as imagined by the writer and not enough dedicated to the love story that bonds it together. A promising book just fizzled out into nonsense.

Interesting theme
