Bellman and Black: A Ghost Story by Diane Setterfield

5.0

Lovely...simply lovely. When an author writes so well that she cradles you in the story like this, it is like falling in love. Time stood still for me whenever I read this. Artistry with words is just a beautiful as any painting, and Setterfield has the skill of Monet, with her soft phrasing and moody atmospheres. Gothic without too much darkness, romantic without too much light, this is storytelling at its finest.
