For me Wallace's story was a way for the living to see that death really is only the beginning. We have all lost someone we love we have all been faced with the grief and even if it seems like all is lost there is another side to the pain and suffering. Under the Whispering Door is one of those stories that can resonate with everyone. "Graves matches his narrative pace to the measured unwinding of the story's layers, focused but unhurried, in the same way that Hugo brews his therapeutic cups of tea." - AudioFileĪ Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books Hilarious, haunting, and kind, Under the Whispering Door is an uplifting story about a life spent at the office and a death spent building a home.


When a reaper comes to collect Wallace from his own funeral, Wallace begins to suspect he might be dead.Īnd when Hugo, the owner of a peculiar tea shop, promises to help him cross over, Wallace decides he’s definitely dead.īut even in death he’s not ready to abandon the life he barely lived, so when Wallace is given one week to cross over, he sets about living a lifetime in seven days. The tea is hot, the scones are fresh, and the dead are just passing through. "Narrator Kirt Groves provides an excellently distinct cast of voices." - LocusĪ Man Called Ove meets The Good Place in Under the Whispering Door, a delightful queer love story from TJ Klune, author of the New York Times and USA Today bestseller The House in the Cerulean Sea.
