really liked it

This small book caught my eye while reading the New York Times Book Review. The premise sounded intriguing so I gave it a read. Very good writing; Dolnick is quite skilled at descriptions, imaging and metaphor. This is a hybrid of ghost story, haunted house tale and first marriage love. He doesn’t linger but makes it into, through and out of the story in under 250 pages. Definitely worth a read. He has several other books out of you need more.
