Description
Drawing on a brilliant literary tradition of madness, incarceration, and escape, Jonathan Kemp delivers the triumphant coming of age of a woman in her sixties in Ghosting. When 64-year-old Grace Wellbeck thinks she sees the ghost of her first husband, she fears for her sanity and worries that she's having another breakdown.
Long-buried memories come back thick and fast: from the fairground thrills of 1950s Blackpool to the dark reality of a violent marriage. But the ghost turns out to be very real: a charismatic young man named Luke.
As Grace gets to know him, she is jolted into an emotional awakening that brings her to a momentous decision.
