Described as "dreamy" and "lusciously lyrical", this story about an earthly relationship between two lost souls (one a young girl and the other a grown man) creeped me out. I couldn't get into the whole ghost of the girl angle, and then there's the sex with the ghost who has grown up. Too slimy for me.

I really enjoyed this! So lyrical and magical, but at that same time, the characters and story seemed very real. This book will make you believe in the magical qualities of spirits! I love Carey's beautiful phrasing and lovely descriptions. She has a way of putting together an unusual adjective and noun that makes sentences jump to life. I have a copy of "Mermaids Singing" and now can't wait to read it!
