A ghostly story about a woman who is caught up in time –she died over 100 years but she cannot pass over to the other side because of a moral baggage that burdens her. She meets a young teen boy who can see her and they fall in love. Not longer after, things become quite complicated and very unpleasant for the two lovers. This is the type of story that when you are finished with it, you will continue to think about it. It will not be soon forgotten. A very interesting read.

I just finished A Certain Slant of Light. Excellent read! I read most of it one sitting…one long and late night. It got my mind racing over the idea of spirituality, connectedness, and memory. I love how she designed the characters. I hope that she publishes another book. I’m curious about the extent of her imagination after finishing this book.
