The Ghost's Child

0670029459

A strange boy suddenly appears in a lonely old woman’s lounge room. As she serves him tea, Hartnett observes that the milk turns the tea ‘a pressed-rose brown’ and immediately we are in a world where language makes exhilarating leaps with apparently no effort at all. Conversation with the boy sends the woman back to a troubled childhood and another ghost of a boy, whom she once thought the most beautiful thing in the world. This deceptively simple fable about love is full of wisdom and beauty for young adults who enjoy literary fiction. Age 12+
