The story is good, the characters believable. Anna newly divorced from a man that had ruled her whole life without allowing her to develop her talents or interests. She has a scent bottle that had belonged to her artist great-great-grandmother and has newly come into possession of the diary that she kept on a journey through Egypt. Suddenly she's seeing ghostly presences from gods that had been guarding the bottle. The diary appears to somewhat parallel what is happening in Anna's life as she some of her fellow travelers want to involve themselves in her life. Anna gets jerked about with the jerk that wants to take the diary away from her and tells her the bottle is a fake and puts down Serena who claims to also be able to see the spooks as well. There is the artist that is kind but as the jerk puts him down and Anna does not know who to trust. This isn't Erskine at her best as sometimes I just wanted to scream "get with it" as it seemed to languish at times. The premise is good, the characters well-developed and believable.
