A review by sausome
The Ghost Clause by Howard Norman

2.0

I wanted to enjoy this book more than I did, but there just seemed to be an invisible wall between me and the narrative that kept me from being fully connected to what was happening. The back and forth between the ghost's life and marriage and the living couple's marriage and life, adding in the "mystery" of the missing girl and that whole investigation, just kept me pretty continuously confused about what story line I was currently meant to keep track of. The conversations were also long, and often without reference to who was speaking, and that was also an easy way to become lost. I think I enjoy a book that doesn't require quite so much effort.
