This story is about a man who has recently lost his wife Lizzie from Cancer, set over a couple of months after her death; it follows his life whilst he comes to terms with his loss.
This book is described as a ghost story, but the way the author has written this book I think it is more than a ghost story. It is a story about bereavement and how the main character tries and gets on with his life. Whilst you are reading this book you really identify with the main character and you can feel his pain whilst he tries and lives his life. Throughout the house there are memories and he thinks that he is seeing Lizzie, is it a ghost or is it his grief playing tricks. Cracks appear in the house again I felt that it was the cracks appearing in his life. I enjoyed how the author took him back to Oxford where he reminisced about where they met and were happier. This was the first book I have read by this author and I really enjoyed it. Although this is a short story there was so much packed in to the story it made a quick read and you will be lost in the story. Whilst you are reading this have some tissues nearby because you will shed a tear at the raw grief. A must read, it was wonderful
