Synopsis
When Agatha and Paddy decide to leave London and buy a house on the coast, they are full of hope for themselves and their growing family. Three months later, when the builders move out and they move in, things look very different. A personal tragedy threatens to destroy all they have carefully built up and only a small miracle, it seems, will save them ... Ghost Story is a book both haunted and haunting, which asks how we can ever mourn something that hasn't lived. Emotionally resonant, beautifully crafted and ultimately redemptive, it is Toby Litt's finest, most mature novel to date.

A short story by Litt was included in the anthology "All Hail the New Puritans" (2000), edited by Matt Thorne and Nicholas Blincoe, and he has edited "The Outcry" (2001), Henry James's last completed novel, for Penguin in the UK. In 2003 he was nominated by Granta magazine as one of the 20 "Best of Young British Novelists", although his work since then has met with mixed reviews, one reviewer in The Guardian writing that his novel "I Play the Drums in a Band Called Okay" "goes on --- and on, and on. There is plenty of story here, but little plot, and no tension."' (Wiki) ***'"Ghost Story" speaks of love and pain, intimacy and estrangement, inspired by events in the author's life - themselves the subject of the non-fiction 'preface' to the book - this is an honest and intensely emotional exploration of what it means to love and to mourn. It is Toby Litt's finest novel to date.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***First impression of the true first edition, complete in the original dustwrapper, in very nice bright collectable condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. N° de réf. du vendeur 9302
