jannie_mtl 's review for:
The Ghost Notebooks
by Ben Dolnick
This short novel was brought to my attention in a NYT list or review. While I enjoyed the writing, the language, voice(s), and pace (slow-ish), the theme of the story (interactions with the spirit world) left me a bit cold. So my rating is a bit of an average.
The story includes an important take on mental illness and family, particularly conflict between family of origin (parents, sibling) and chosen family (spouse).
