But who will come for Charlie?

Review
"A beautiful, if occasionally uncomfortable, read that resists being labeled with any particular genre."―Library Journal (starred review)
"Wholly original and hauntingly beautiful. North is a writer to watch."―Kirkus
"Thrilling and moving, The End of the Day is a fascinating exploration of what makes us human -- and a riveting journey through life, and death."― The Bookbag
"[Claire's] writing is poetic and accessible, imaginative and jam-packed full of knowledge . . . making The End of the Day a thoroughly engaging and astute read from start to finish"―SciFiNow
"North is [a] consistently intriguing writer."―Locus
"North is an exciting voice in contemporary fantasy, and The End of the Day should be a welcome calling card from her to many new readers."―San Francisco Chronicle
"Just like Death itself, the story is unpredictable . . . But it's moving, a novel you'll sob to while reading."―SFX
"Surreal, whimsical...shaped with philosophical panache."―Guardian
"[T]his is an inquiry into modern human existence. Philosophical questions are threaded through the electrifying plot. Even the protagonist's darkness alias is "why." Reminiscent of William Gibson's best work, North leads us into a brilliant world of elite but mindless humans, and shines a sharp light on what a rare gift it is to be able to think for oneself and what the consequences of it are."―RT Book Reviews on The Sudden Appearance of Hope
"Beautifully written, with a protagonist who is both tragic and heroic, the novel is remarkably powerful and deeply memorable, the latest in a string of terrific books from this newly emerged star in the genre-blending universe."
―Booklist (Starred Review) on The Sudden Appearance of Hope
