Coffee and a Book Chick

I've heard a lot about this one and still keep forgetting to put this on my Paperbackswap wish list -- late 1700s, Cambridge AND a ghost? Absolutely, I am all over that!

I'm so glad you liked this, Cornflower. You have a long and happy time ahead of you with this writer. DO try the absolutely brilliant ROTH TRILOGY ( The Four Last Things, The Office of the Dead, The Judgement of Strangers)first of all. I think that's a ground-breaking trilogy, which is very clever and very well-written. I've reviewed the Anatomy of Ghosts on a blog called AN AWFULLY BIG BLOG ADVENTURE. I loved it too.
