Philippa Swan

The Night of All Souls (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Philippa Swan's erudite homage takes a page from Wharton's unheralded ghost stories: the author is resurrected in an anteroom to the afterlife, and given a novella about a woman who works at the Wharton museum in Massachusetts. Edith must decide whether to publish or burn the work, revisiting her own writing in the process. It may have the trappings of a ghost story, but the most appealing element of Swan's novel is its submerged literary appreciation of Wharton's oeuvre, delivered in tandem with lively elements of biography, and shades of the wit and style for which Wharton was renowned.
