Summary: For readers of Lauren
Oliver and Alice Sebold, a sophisticated, literary ghost story that reminds us
the past is never, ever forgotten.
In a small logging town
in northern California, young Emma Rose Finnis was born and died. Now, no one
remembers her hardworking life and her grand dreams--but she remembers. She
remembers everything. Emma Rose is still here, one hundred years after her
death . . . and she doesn't plan on leaving.
But when a determined
hunter arrives with instructions to "clean" Emma Rose out of her
haunt, the stately Lambry mansion, death suddenly isn't the worst fate
imaginable. Emma Rose refuses to be hounded from the only place she's ever
found peace, even if it means waging a war on the living . . . and the dead.
Lyrical and haunting,
this spellbinding American ghost story alternates between Emma Rose's life and
afterlife as the past and present become entwined in a compelling tale of loss,
love and tenacity over a century in the making.
Angie’s comments: A beautiful story about past choices, consequences, love, and
mostly importantly, life. It is a ghost story with some haunting, but mostly
the story is about thoughts and feelings.
Recommended for readers who want a different
type of ghost story.
