A man has just died. His family gathers in his home to take care
of his funeral arrangements and hear the reading of the will. Two curious onlookers are anxious to see the
family they watched grow up for many years and lost track of when the heads of
the household divorced. All three surviving
family members, the matriarch, daughter and son are hot messes and the two
onlookers are by turns intrigued and dismayed.
Alice and Sandra are the observers, two ghosts trapped together in the
family house. While they have never been
able to really affect the physical world Alice is having some luck lately. Can the ghosts free themselves from the
house? Who is that new voice they are
hearing? What happened to Alice and Sandra
to entrap them in these rooms?
The writing style is unique. Each chapter is told from a different point
of view with most of the chapters being dedicated to the ghosts, both in
flashbacks from when they were alive and in the present. The title of the book comes from the
construction. Chapters are arranged into
sections and each section is the name of a room in the house. The past and present of each room helps shape
the storytelling.
I received a pre-publication of this
novel when I met the author at an event.
She seemed really cool, the book itself sounded neat when she talked
about it, so I gave it a try! This book
comes out on September 23rd so place your holds now!
