Review: The Life of the World to Come: A Novel

The Life of the World to Come: A Novel The Life of the World to Come: A Novel by Dan Cluchey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Leo Brice is seriously depressed. His girlfriend has left him and he thinks life has no meaning without her. But there are few more unlikely couples than Leo, an introspective lawyer and Fiona, and up and coming actress.
But Leo has 2 things going for him: his best friends, who are an amazing support group and his job. Leo works for an institute that "provides legal support to death row inmates that maintain their innocence".

So Leo and a colleague are sent to Atlanta to represent a man accused of murder. Problem is, he has made peace with the idea of dying and he doesn't need new lawyers. But Leo is insistent on saving him, maybe as a way to save himself.

This book is both literary and philosophical, beautiful in all aspects. I hope Mr. Cluchey continues to write more books as amazing as this one.


I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
