From the rear cover
Norman elegantly crafts a murder story that isn t a mystery; a ghost story without shivers. At its heart, this is a bittersweet love story, about the hole left in a life. Seattle Times
Sam Lattimore meets Elizabeth Church in 1970s Halifax, in an art gallery.Their brief, erotically chargedmarriage is extinguished with Elizabeth s murder. Sam s life afterward is complicated. In a moment of desperate confusion, he sells his life story to a Norwegian filmmaker named Istvakson, known for the stylized violence of his films, whose artistic drive sets in motion an increasingly intense cat-and-mouse game between the two men. Furthermore, Sam has begun seeing Elizabeth not only seeing but holding conversations with her, almost every evening, and what at first seems simply hallucination born of terrible grief reveals itself, evening by evening, as something else entirely.
Beautifully and carefully written and unique, its meaning both elegant and elusive. Ann Beattie
Compelling and satisfying. Howard Norman has written a complex literary novel and a page-turner that s impossible to put down. Minneapolis Star Tribune
Quirky and probing . . . riveting . . . sexy. Washington Post
