Book Description
Ghosts aren’t real, time travel isn’t possible, and aliens do not live among us. This has been Gwen Tucker’s mantra since childhood, but when she—completely without artistic skill—visits an old Spanish fort to sketch as part of a fundraising challenge, something invisible takes control of her hand and draws a series of stunning images: a man dressed as Hamlet, herself being held at gunpoint, and her wife Billie being attacked. Being possessed by a ghost was not on Gwen’s bucket list, but she must finally admit that ghosts might be real, and one is obviously trying to send her a message. With the help of Billie and the local paranormal group, Gwen struggles to figure out why they’re in danger. Their progress is hampered by an unfriendly neighbor, an irritating colleague, and a stepbrother with a hidden agenda. Just as the confusion ramps up, Billie disappears. Gwen and Billie must answer the question: Would you sacrifice everything to save the woman you love?

A Window Across the River
Author: Brian Morton
Publisher: HMH
ISBN: 0547350902
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
A writer is caught between her calling and the man she loves in this “joyous, funny and bittersweet” novel (Newsday). Isaac and Nora haven’t seen each other in five years, yet when Nora phones Isaac late one night, he knows who it is before she’s spoken a word. Isaac, a photographer, is relinquishing his artistic career, while Nora, a writer, is seeking to rededicate herself to hers. Fueled by their rediscovered love, Nora is soon on fire with the best work she’s ever done, until she realizes that the story she's writing has turned into a fictionalized portrait of Isaac, exposing his frailties and compromises and sure to be viewed by him as a betrayal. How do we remain faithful to our calling if it estranges us from the people we love? How do we remain in love after we have seen the very worst of our loved ones? These are some of the questions explored in a novel that critics are calling “an absolute pleasure” (The Seattle Times). From the author of Florence Gordon and Starting Out in the Evening, this is a “novel of two star-crossed but self-absorbed artists facing crises of the heart and conscience. . . . An intriguing look at the nature of love and the need for acceptance” (Booklist). “I loved this book.” —Alice Sebold
