- More about After Darke
Dr. James Darke, released from prison, is lost in a new world after serving his sentence for the assisted death of his wife.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 288 pages
Publication date: 27 April 2023
Publisher: Little, Brown Book Group
Released from prison after serving his sentence for the assisted death of his wife, his health failing, and his chronic impatience exacerbated, Dr. James Darke self-isolates. But on his return, he understands that he is now a displaced person, lost in a new world for which his education and inclinations have not prepared him.
Irascible, misanthropic, intensely bookish, fastidious in his tastes and rich enough to indulge them, Darke is a happy shut-in, busily writing oppositional pamphlets and composing a literary hoax. But his daughter and the Bulgarian housekeeper she hired to look after him have other ideas.
After Darke is a moving, witty reflection on grief, aging, and love in all its forms, and James Darke is one of the most memorable, exasperating yet loveable characters of contemporary fiction.
