The Ghost's Child
The Ghost's Child | Sonya Hartnett
2 posts | 2 read
Maddy, an old lady now, arrives home one day to find a peculiar boy waiting for her. Over tea, she tells him the story of her life long ago, when she wished for her days to be as romantic and mysterious as a fairy tale. It was then that she fell painfully in love with a free spirit named Feather, who put aside his wild ways to live with her in a little cottage, conceived with her a child never to be born, and disappeared -- leaving an inconsolable Maddy to follow after him on a fantastical journey across the sea. In a beautifully crafted tale, Sonya Hartnett masterfully explores the mysteries of the heart, the sustaining power of memory, and the ultimate consolation that comes to souls who live fully and fearlessly.

Read this again for work. It is such a wonderful book that challenges superficiality straight on. It is a beautifully written telling of a beautiful story that has a beautiful meaning. So rich with discussion of life, love, beauty, loss, self discovery...so mnay truths that are explored tenderly in this novel.

An enchanting look at a full life, a whole life, not just a single moment of a person's life.
