Mila’s ghosts are haunting her. As she begins a new job and a new life, she encounters the ghosts of her past (abuse, neglect) and the literal ghosts haunting The Farm.
Will the ghosts of her past or the ghosts of her present be what does her in?
Meeting Mila, you get a sense of her fragility, but also of her strength. Will she be able to let the people around her in? Will she allow herself to connect with these new colleagues, stand-in parents and the children she teaches? Can she bury the ghosts she brings with her and survive the ghosts she finds?
This atmospheric novel of redemption and regret at once fills the reader with hope and with trepidation. What a unique and intoxicating combination.
