This is one of the best books I have ever read. Ms. Domingue really knows how the write. When you read this book, be ready to experience the emotions that the main character Razi experiences. Razi was going to go to medical school back in the 1920s, but died in a swimming accident. She is now living in the "in between." She has been dead for 70 years when she mets a couple and moves into their house with them. Obviously, they don't know she exists. She talks about their life, and her life, starting with flashbacks from before to after the accident. It really is an amazing book. I used to say that there are only 3 books that I have ever cried reading. Now, I have to say that there are 4 books. The emotions that you will experience while reading this book are raw and undescribable. If you read this book, you will need a box of tissues.
