With Hugo's help, he finally starts to learn about all the things he missed in life. Hugo is the tea shop's owner to locals and the ferryman to souls who need to cross over.īut Wallace isn't ready to abandon the life he barely lived. On the outskirts, off the path through the woods, tucked between mountains, is a particular tea shop, run by a man named Hugo. Instead of leading him directly to the afterlife, the reaper takes him to a small village.

When a reaper comes to collect Wallace Price from his own funeral, Wallace suspects he really might be dead.

Under the Whispering Door is a contemporary fantasy with TJ Klune's signature "quirk and charm" ( PW) about a ghost who refuses to cross over and the ferryman he falls in love with.
