Jonathan Rebeck is homeless. Bankrupt. He has dropped out of
society and has been living quietly in a local cemetery, under the
care of a raven who is quite good at stealing sandwiches. Far from
being lonely, however, Jonathan is able to converse with the ghosts
around him, and finds himself following two new spirits, Michael
and Laura, as they fall in love with each other. He becomes
invested in, and part of, their cautious romance. But the
circumstances behind Michael's death are slipping from his memory,
and the further from life they drift, the closer the loss of love
feels. When a visiting widow stumbles across Jonathan in his
graveyard home, will the living world begin to intrude on this fine
and private place? Peter S. Beagle's legendary, beautiful debut
novel is filled with all his characteristic warmth and humanity.
With a new introduction by Neil Gaiman, A Fine and Private Place is
a timeless classic from the author of The Last Unicorn.
