The author of "The War Between the Tates" and the Pulitzer
prize-winning "Foreign Affairs" now brings her irresistible wit to
the ghost story.
In nine spooky tales, Alison Lurie writes of women haunted by
ghosts both literal and metaphorical: A woman about to marry Mr.
Right is visited by the spirit of his first wife; a dead fiance
haunts a foreign service officer every time she has an intimate
moment with another man; the ghost of a girl in a Halloween costume
disconcerts the perfect housewife. A secretary on a diet begins to
see obese people everywhere she looks; a self-conscious poet is
shadowed by her intrusive doppelganger; and a capricious,
malevolent spirit seems to have inhabited an acquisitive matron's
prized piece of furniture.
Delightfully strange and beautifully told, these nine tales show
Alison Lurie at her luminous best.
