Description

<p>A mythical jewel of a story… A true story told on a beach in Yucatan, A Shadow tells Stephanie's story but it was also the story of the golden time. Its nostalgia sings like cicadas in the heat.</p><p>An American ‘Under Milkwood’, this distilled novel of the Sixties evokes the sounds, music and optimism on the free-wheelin streets and parks of Coconut Grove. You can hear Bob Dylan still strumming acoustic; smoke a joint with Fred Neil; and Everybody’s Talkin is carried on the wind.</p><p>Stephanie, a young hairdresser living in lodgings finds herself pregnant. Refused help from her hard Catholic mother in New York, unable to abort her baby, she accepts the kindness of Miriam, her Jewish landlady, whose own barren life spills into compassionate assistance for the daughter she never had.</p><p>The poignancy of its ending, its generosity and acceptance, echoes the bitter disappointment of those of us who hoped for so much more, but who remember its joy, and its promise, as though untarnished by time.</p>

Every now and then you come across a book that portrays a common subject, but finds a new interesting way to spin it all. Those are the books I love to discover and this is one of them. The plot is fun and moves along at a great pace keeping you at the edge of your seat. This was one of those that was difficult to put down, and one I started it took me no time at all to finish it.</div> <div class="reviewText" style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"> </div> <div class="reviewText" style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"> <div style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;margin-bottom:.5em;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span style="margin-right:5px;"><span class="swSprite s_star_5_0" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:middle;width:65px;height:13px;background:url(http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/g/01/common/sprites/sprite-site-wide-3._v375430972_.png) no-repeat -30px 0px;" title="5.0 out of 5 stars"><span>5.0 out of 5 stars</span></span> </span><span style="vertical-align:middle;"><b>An richly imagined world of ghosts and ghost killers</b>, February 22, 2015</span></div> <div style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;margin-bottom:.5em;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"> <div> <div style="float:left;">By </div> <div style="float:left;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A2F9JPL0X8W9MV/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp" style="color:rgb(0,75,145);"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Jen</span></a> - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A2F9JPL0X8W9MV/ref=cm_cr_pr_auth_rev?ie=UTF8&amp;sort_by=MostRecentReview" style="color:rgb(0,75,145);">See all my reviews</a></div> </div> <div style="clear:both;"><b style="font-size:x-small;line-height:1.6em;"><span class="h3color tiny" style="color:rgb(228,121,17);">This review is from: </span>What Haunts Me (Ghost Killer - Book I) (Kindle Edition)</b></div> </div> <div class="reviewText" style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">What Haunts Me is a very well-written ghost story that brought to mind one of Charles Dickens’ worlds, even though it's contemporary. There’s something formal, classic, and almost nostalgic feeling about the story. It's unusually “clean”, or maybe just compared to everything I've read recently, as in no swearing or sex, which might really appeal to certain readers. I’m always on the lookout for errors, since I get a lot of my books from promotional sites, and this story has none...flawless!</div> </div>
