Briefly, A Delicious Life by Nell Stevens

5.0

A queer historical fiction narrated by a ghost? Say less. 

I LOVE a ghost narrator. And one that’s filled with queer longing and desire? Even better. 

Incredibly atmospheric. A young ghost falls in unrequited love with a writer. Very much about society's expectations placed on women, spanning centuries. 

I felt so warm reading this. It was both breathtaking and humorous. Alive and just delicious. 

Feels like: crisp autumn leaves; tracing your fingers over cold piano keys; ink stained fingers; a glass of Pinot noir; and of course, Chopin’s music.
