The Mercy of Thin Air by Ronlyn Domingue

5.0

This book has been on my to-read shelf for eight long years, and I got to it at just the right time. I’d expected nothing more than a standard ghost story, but this is a truly luminous piece of writing. Razi, a ghost who has lingered in New Orleans for almost 75 years after her death, is suddenly drawn to a young woman named Amy and follows her home to Baton Rouge. As Razi goes over the mistakes that led to her accidental death, Amy is also moved to reflect upon unprocessed trauma in her past. Will the two of them ever figure out exactly what draws them together, and will either of them ever be able to move on? Highly recommended.
