A review by loribulb
The Ghost Clause by Howard Norman
4.0
This turned out to be completely different than what I'd expected. The summaries and teasers I'd read for this book made it seem almost farcical- the young couple and the ghost! How will they get along??? That kind of thing.
Instead I found a beautiful, intelligent story that has both heartbreak and comfort- both from unusual angles.
At first the characters annoyed me; their pretentiousness was a big overwhelming. I did get used to them (they are so high maintenance!) and enjoyed the story being told around them.
Recommend for a bittersweet reason. Warning: you'll want a farmhouse in Vermont by the time you finish reading.
