| Bellewether by Susanna KearsleyWhat it's about: The Wilde House Museum is said to be haunted by the ghost of a French Canadian soldier who fell in love with the daughter of the house during the Seven Years' War. As curator Charley Van Hoek investigates in the present day, a parallel narrative set in 1759 reveals the star-crossed love story from the perspectives of the couple.
Is it for you? if you don't mind a hint of the supernatural in otherwise realistic fiction, Bellewether offers well-drawn characters, a romantic narrative that bridges two timelines, and plenty of gothic atmosphere. |
