I appreciated this note at the start, and I wanted to put it in this review as well, as readers may want to be aware of the heavy topics before beginning the book. There are discussions of death in different forms – quiet, unexpected, and death by suicide. “This story explores life and love as well as loss and grief. The story is heavy and heartfelt, but also gentle and touching in wonderful ways.Īs this story deals heavily with death, there is an author’s note at the very start of the novel: “ Under the Whispering Door” is a story about a man named Wallace Price who dies and finds himself in a world between life and death until he is ready to cross over into the next phase. I was excited to see what Klune would do next, and I was not disappointed. When I heard Klune had another book coming out, I placed my hold right away, not even seeing what the book was about.
