REVIEW FROM BOOKS FOR HER:

This plot and character-driven page turner follows the fate of three women: two survivors of World War II and a modern woman with the ability to see and talk to ghosts. While I have read novels with reference to the presence of ghosts before, I found found this endlessly-discussed rendering to be rather distracting and difficult to take at face value. Despite this, the storyline is cleverly plotted, and I found myself curious what would happen to the characters (if not their ghosts.) Next stop: a novel by this author that does not focus on the otherworldly.
