Why read it?

1 author picked In the Aftermath as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I usually enjoy audiobooks only on car trips, but with this one, I kept listening until the story was over. And then I wanted to stay with the characters. Thematically, it represents a time in recent history that I don’t find addressed much in fiction, the 2007/8 financial crisis, which had a significant fallout for so many people.
