Grandghost: A Haunted House Mystery by Nancy SpringerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Review: GRANDGHOST by Nancy Springer
I totally loved this engrossing, emotionally involving, thematically multilayered novel! GRANDGHOST deserves far more than 5 stars. It's so impacting, and author Nancy Springer covers so much territory in this tautly woven tale. Beverly Vernon is a gifted artist whose career has focused on children's book.illustrations. Widowed with two almost middle-aged daughters and no grandchildren, she has moved from New Jersey to near isolation in the rural Florida Panhandle, glorying in nature and sunsets and Art. When her agent intimates that Beverly' s acceptance as a children's illustrator may be over, Beverly, who is very much her own person, begins painting an ideal grandchild. Then while cleaning up a sudden discovery of bricks piled at the back of her property, she unearths a skeleton. The consequences, many and varied, and the character evolution (not only Beverly's) are totally engrossing, and will live on in memory. GRANDGHOST is a Best of 2018!
