After a series of acclaimed best sellers, Lauren Oliver presents a captivating tale that solidifies her status as a master storyteller. This mesmerizing and suspenseful narrative explores themes of guilt, love, and family secrets. Following the death of estranged patriarch Richard Walker, his alienated family—bitter ex-wife Caroline, troubled teenage son Trenton, and unforgiving daughter Minna—gathers at their country house to claim their inheritance. However, they are not alone. Alice and Sandra, two restless ghosts, inhabit the house, eternally bound to its structure. As they jostle for space and memory, they observe the living family, communicating through the house’s creaks and hisses. The painful truths of both the living and the dead emerge with explosive force. When a new ghost appears and Trenton begins to interact with her, the boundaries between the spirit and human worlds blur, leading to cataclysmic consequences. Elegantly constructed and brilliantly paced, this story serves as both an imaginative ghost tale and a profound family drama, resonating deeply with its exploration of haunting truths.
