Bellman and Black: A Ghost Story by Diane Setterfield

4.0

Quick thoughts: I enjoyed Setterfield's ability to give her story a placeless and timeless feel (much like she did in The Thirteenth Tale) Its difficult to effectively describe the plot of the book without describing the 1st half of it. Basically, it is a "man makes a deal with with force(s) he doesn't understand when tragedy strikes" sort of story...but it is so much more than that. I never would have guessed an author would have been able to make the textile industry sound interesting enough to read about...good on you, Diane!
