Book Reviews of Ghostwalk
Book Review: " '...that strange, perpetual weaving and unweaving of ourselves ' ''
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to read Ghostwalk because it contained a blurb by Iain Pears, a favorite author of mine. Mr. Pears did not let me down when he praised this " 'beautifully written book.'" This unusual novel is partly about alchemy and the author practices her own sort of literary alchemy in melding elements of mystery, science, history and romance. Stott has an hypnotic style of writing that casts a spell over the reader and I especially loved the way she captured the complexities of the relationship between Lydia and Cameron. I could not put the book down, but now, as with other novels that I have really enjoyed, I feel strangely bereft because I have finished it. I am eagerly looking forward to her next work of fiction!
