In Isabel Wolff's poignant and bittersweet tenth novel, a ghostwriter is haunted by a childhood tragedy as she brings to light a forgotten story of the Second World War Jenni loves her job as a ghostwriter--it satisfies her insatiable curiosity about people. It also means that she can hide behind the stories of others and not think about her own life too much. But when Jenni starts work on the memoirs of a survivor of the Japanese internment camps in Java, striking coincidences force her to examine her own past. Gripping, moving and meticulously researched, Ghostwritten delivers Isabel Wolff's signature blend of pathos, mystery and romance. It also sheds light on a forgotten chapter of history and shimmers with an element of the supernatural that will tingle the reader's spine.
Good World War II historical fiction about the Dutch population in Java and a family‘s internment in a Japanese prison camp...I can‘t remember reading a novel set in this world of WWII history before.
