A fascinating yet horrifying concept of life after death. The spirit of a long-dead man wanders the ether in search of a wife he left behind after an early end. Slowly but inevitably he loses memories of a short life as he travels back from 2017 to the time of his death in the late 19th. century. Along the journey he encounters people he knew during his life although he struggles with the recollections.

From the outset this plot is fresh and engaging and although I would sincerely hope that it would never come to pass (in my case anyway, for there is a lot of torment with his soul) the theme is in a way, mesmerising.
Just imagine.

I am really not a fan of time jumping books, but in this instance it lent itself to weaving a delicate tapestry that becomes the heart of this story. It looks you in and there are flashes throughout the book of the lives and deaths of the characters. It is a beautifully written, and once you realize the whole of the tale, heartbreaking. I actually had to revisit a couple chapters I didn't think too deeply on the first time through. It's packed with emotion and really captures the periods and attitudes of each.

As soon as I started reading this I was completely intrigued by seeing through the ghosts eyes. I’ve read many books with ghosts in them and this was definitely a first. It was cool being transported through time with the main character but at the same time it was hard to get invested in the characters he was visiting since you didn’t spend much time with each one. Overall I enjoyed reading it and would like to check out more or Lucy’s work. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.
