Description
"An irresistible tale that ventures into the ghostly realms of psychology, personality and intimacy" from the bestselling author of The Music Room ( San Francisco Chronicle ) . When their daughter leaves for college, newly minted empty nesters Cookson and Ellen Selway decide to escape the eerie quiet of their home and take a trip to London. But not long after arriving, it becomes apparent that the Selways have traded one unsettling locale for another. Like Cookson, a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, the Hotel Willerton has a disturbing past. Fifty years ago, a young girl fell to her death from one of the hotel's windows, and her ghost is haunting Cookson, slowly drawing him back toward the darkness that once consumed him. As Cookson descends into a spiral of self-destruction, he is joined by two more apparitions, each reflecting the worst parts of himself and forcing him to confront the mistakes of his past that have tormented him for years. From the celebrated author of the Washington Post Best Book of the Year Nostalgia and the New York Times –bestselling The Music Room , this is "a gripping, stylish, consistently entertaining novel" that offers a literary spin on the traditional ghost story ( The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ).
