Charlie meets everyone - but only once. You might meet him in a hospital, in a warzone, or at the scene of traffic accident. Then again, you might meet him at the North Pole - he gets everywhere, our Charlie. Would you shake him by the hand, take the gift he offers, or would you pay no attention to the words he says? Sometimes he is sent as a courtesy, sometimes as a warning. He never knows which. THE END OF THE DAY is the stunning new story from Richard and Judy Book Club author Claire North: the voice behind the word-of-mouth bestseller THE FIRST FIFTEEN LIVES OF HARRY AUGUST.
